Juvenile Sandhill Crane Portrait

Nikon D1h, 600mm f/4 AF-S, TC-20e, f/8, 1/400sec, Incident Metering, -0.7ev, SB-28DX, -1.3ev Fill, Cloudy White Balance, ISO 400, Low Tone, Gitzo 410, Wimberly Head.

I love shooting pictures of the non-standard. In a sea of mature Sandhill Cranes, the occasional juvenile with its slightly muted colors stick out like a sore thumb. I think they look wonderful because of their unique colors.
