East African Crown Crane with Textures

I love this bird. You'll see more of different interactions in the days ahead. There were a bunch of background distractions so I gave this shot a bit of a seeing to.
Thanks for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs

PS -- Reasons I love this shot so much -- background sets off the bird so well. Details in the bird are amazingly crisp. Seamless texture borders. Overall composition with the cooperation of the bird.
