Thanks to all for your helpful comments. Crex Meadows typically has 10,000 plus Sandhill Cranes pool up in the fall migration. They remain very easily spooked and fly off en masse at the first sign of perceived danger. To offset this, arrive 45 minutes before daylight, use an infrared light to set up, have your car windows open so you can retrieve your gear without slamming a door, stay close to your car (since they are used to seeing cars) and wait. And oh, hope that there are cranes where you have decided to set up.
Alan: With respect to the cable release issue, I have seen near fistfights breakout over this issue. I am curious as to why you suggest not using one?
I use one in cold weather when I am wearing heavy gloves and am unable to easily manipulate camera controls. It has gotten me a number of keepers when trying to capture shots of eagles fishing when temps are around zero. But, it takes practice and it is not perfect. |

Agree that cropping might enhance your subject. After running through Gigapixel I assume you could crop without too much noise. |

Nice shot. Impressed that at f2.8 you were still able to get a strong depth of field look. |

Nice vivid colors. Agree that darkening the highlights on the left would enhance the image. I am often faced with highlights that will distract from the subject. Would it have been possible to move the camera angle/height to block the white background?Your ISO is plenty low so another possibility is to shoot the image 2 stops underexposed then bring up the orchid and bee in post processing. |
