Hand held into late afternoon sun in my backyard. Momma Crane and her 2 youngsters were keeping a watchful eye on the alligator cruising nearby on the lake, waiting to get back to feeding in the shallows. (I know, I know - get rid of that retaining wall on the far right, but how to clone out whilst maintaining the subtle texture and color variations of the water behind it?) Fire when ready!

Very nice shot. These birds are so graceful, and the muted colors are right for this subject.
