Sandhill on a frosty morning

[bsinc1962]

Hung out by the pond next to my house in the snow this morning while this SHC tried to decide whether to fly or sleep in. Eventually after about an hour it took off. Strange because usually they cackle a few times and fly almost immediately. I think he was just enjoying watching me freeze.

Great separation from the bg. I also like the colors and wing position.

Thanks Allan. The BG was pretty far away so the f/5.6 worked ok.
