[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Cranes are large, long-legged and long-necked birds of the order Gruiformes, and family Gruidae. Unlike the similar-looking but unrelated herons, cranes fly with necks outstretched, not pulled back. Most have elaborate and noisy courting displays or "dances". While folklore often states that cranes mate for life, recent scientific research indicates that these birds do change mates over the course of their (considerable) lifetimes (Hayes 2005). Some species and/or populations of cranes migrate over long distances, while some do not migrate at all. Cranes are gregarious, forming large flocks where their numbers are sufficient.


Photographed in Planckendael.

Hi Annick,
amazing...the detail is so well caught as a result of the exposure you have used here. Composition and BG are superb...a very high standard as usual, very well done indeed.

Great pic of the Stanley Crane! Excellent focus and mastering of the exposure. I did some images of them - but none turned out to be uploadable - the happier I am to see that you did succeed!
Bravo! Cheers, Klaus

Hello Annick,
A fine portrait of the crane!
Good point of view and the subject is well framed, a majestic attitude is captured...
