She's Back...What Can She Possibly Want?

I'm obsessed with the five sandhill cranes that hang out in some large fields on the road I take to and from town. I could watch them all day -- they are curious for a very short time, then walk away sort of in a huff after they've watched me for a few seconds.
Desaturated this to highlight their red crowns -- and make it all about them and not the pretty early evening light over the gold and green field.
I can completely see why they fascinate you…inquisitive & I love that little top knot…..

The SC really makes this an interesting shot. It does, indeed, highlight the red on their heads.

You made them pop for sure. I can’t tell you how jealous I am of you getting them so close and often. I found myself fantasizing last night about coming to visit you in Beaver Island next summer!

The selective colour is very good here.

I really like the creative choice to take the color out and accentuate the crowns. It does make them stand out and shows off how unique they are.
