Taken on an airboat ride in the Everglades on 12/30 ... focal length of 180mm ... that was the highlight of my trip to southern Florida over the xmas holidays ... what an amazing place ... I'd wish I had hours... DAYS there to take photos ... I really like this image and I hope it does well ...
convert from raw to TIF ... did the basic HDR conversion, adjustment layers, quick mask the crane and did adjustment layers on him/her ... flatten image, USM, noise ninja, contrast/brightness, curves, added slight vignette .. save for web

Beautifully captured and nice and crisp focus on the bird. Good use of thirds allowing us to see were she is going. Thank you for not ruining it by overprocessing the sky. Good Luck. 8.
Wonderful capture. You've left enough room in front so the composition doesn't feel cramped. Maybe just bring out the shadows on the head and legs a little more to make it better.
A really pleasing shot and well framed. Great sense of motion in the bird and the grass at the bottom adds to it. A little underexposed IMHO but overall really well done.
Beautiful capture. The title bugs me, because it's NOT "soaring", which by definition is floating along on outstretched wings; the bird's in the act of flying, probably climbing after takeoff. But that's really neither here nor there.
