Another from last month's Tide Is High series...

Technically it's not really a water crane, just a crane with its feet wet...

Excellent love the cloud formation

Lovely image and great contrast

Agree with Trev - great sky.

Yes, great clouds. Landscapes without interesting clouds can be a bit bland. B&W suits the scene.

Thank all for your kind comments.

It was taken with mono in mind (camera was set to black & white).

You have handled the highlights and shadow area's very well, and l love the sky.

Cheers.

I used manual mode and spot metering to expose for the highlights aiming to keep them just on the inside edge of burning out and used the raw processor to recover the shadows.
