| Grey Crowned Crane Couple |
In our trip to Kenya last summer, we met those beautiful, impressive birds. Colorful, large, with the distinctive crown, they were mesmerizing to watch. This is a photo of a couple looking for food in the swampy land. Not a perfect photo by any means, but close enough to get good details and a good view of these magnificent creatures.
What do I like about this photo? Good details, and an interesting pose. A shallow depth of field (since I used the most open aperture I had at my disposal), makes the birds stand out even though the background is not very clean.
What would I want to improve? A shallower depth of field would have been nicer, making the bird stand out even more. A lower point of view might have made for a more dramatic photo, as well. Getting a bit closer to get more details would also have been preferable.
