Not sure what it is except a sweet shot!!! Love whatever you've done to this Jon! The background is awesome, the colors are perfect! The face is so sharp, and the eye is freakishly cool

So now we can add wildlife as to the list of things that you shoot exceptionally well

Looks like a Japaneese crane, but I am not sure by the markings.

Everytime I click one of these shots, dont realise its you...then I go wow, then realise, and it annoys me...Youve sapped everyone from the forums goodness into one amazing photographer, thats my only explanation...

thanks everyone for your comments! Japaneeze Crane eh? sure it's not a crow?

Hmm...not sure what it is, but the shot rocks. Could be a crow in a crane costume?
Love the colours :thumbup:

It's a white-napped crane, I went to the National Zoo last month and took some pics of them, but they don't looks as good as this one, great shot.
