Sometimes a shot that you never intended to enter in a challenge, just fits in the theme. This is one of those cases. I was really looking forward to this challenge, as Color on Color is a lot of fun to setup for. But I only got limited time, and my result was much lower quality than I could accept. Looking back on the images I took in the last week, this one from a recent hike really seems to work out well. The sandhill cranes fit right in with the early spring tans of this marsh.

It's a Sandhill Crane! A friend of mine took me on a trip to chase these guys down in Michigan in November :)

The sun glint puts this one over the top, but I do wish the other bird was not right in line with your main subject.

Beautiful shot. Love the color on color here. The touch of red on his head adds a little something. Nice DOF as well.

A nice capture with good color. The composition, however, to me, is lacking a bit. The bird directly behind the main subject muddies the eye's focus some. Personally I also wish it was a bit wider shot.

Love it! Now I think I need to drive the the fields this weekend.
