It's a beautiful shot! ... but it isn't a crane. :-)
Tip: cranes fly with their necks extended straight out... egrets and herons
with the neck position as on your bird.
Great Egret is what it is. (used to be called Great White Heron, too)
The yellow bill and the black legs are other clues and you did say it was
huge. :_)
Interesting and nice that it has your signature style even though you are
photographing something that isn't normally in your
subject range. The bird's position in the sky and the tone of the whole
thing is really stunning.. maybe you shoudl do more!!

I'm not a wildlife or bird photographer, normally ... I was out on my walk
this morning with it fitted to the E-1, photographing landscape and trees,
when this huge white crane drifted into view.

Here's a special bonus for this photo: a larger version at

I think this photo needs the bigger size so you can see the whites of its
eye. ;-)
enjoy! Godfrey
