Surya P - Side Chick
This image is of a Sandhill Crane, I took it over the break at Wheeler National Refuge on my Nikon D750. They are initially from the north and migrate down south during the winter. At Wheeler, you can find hundreds of them that have migrated. I edited the picture by editing in into frame, off-center to bring movement into the image. Additionally, I tried to add some dynamic so the background wasn’t flat by adding a vignette and adding linear and subject masks. I wish it wasn’t as grainy, but I didn’t have the lens I wanted on it. I also think it needs a radial mask around the subject to brighten it up, but overall I like it.

This photo is stunning! I love how there is a clear subject and the movement of the crane is very well captured. The color of the crane and the grey background really makes the subject stand out.
i love how the background is all gray, it rally makes the crane pop out. usually i wouldnt like how it's not centered, but it helps give the illusion of movement. - HC HHS
This is such a cool photo. I I love how the background is all one color, it makes the subject pop a lot more. I agree that the subject could be a little bit lighter to bring it out more, but overall it is really good. CT HHS
