Sandhill Crane in the Rain

I like the first, good composition and nice motion blur in the legs, giving that feeling of movement.

Personally I'd ditch the second tho. Never great seeing the back end of or with the subject moving away imo.

Thanks. Yeah, those rear view pics usually don't score as well as a frontal or side view pic and I normally wouldn't put up a rear view pic for the reason you mentioned but what I've come to realize is there are a number of people that never see nothing like this bird where they live and they aren't judging the picture or me for how it's presented. they simply just want to see one. That's the gist I got some time ago when talking with someone about it. So, I do it for them and others like them.

I think the second shot is kinda cool, just taking a stroll down the Avenue.

Thanks! I was thinking the same thing. I've seen a lot of pics of people from behind of them holding hands and taking a stroll. They looked good and no one complained about that. I feel this is kind of the same thing, only it's two birds instead. Not everyone has that same vision when they look at such pics I suppose.
