Photo Fun: Cranes

by Brian
This photo was taken at the Honolulu Zoo. I’m not sure exactly what kind of birds these are but I think they’re cranes and they’re really vivid and beautiful. Wonderful plumage and colors. Did some post-work to soften and make it more “romantic”.
Here’s a photo from another visit to the Honolulu Zoo.

That’s a beautiful shot! I don’t think I’ve seen that pair at the zoo. Now we have to go back and watch for them.

I was just at the zoo a week or so ago, I did see one of them but not the other. This photo is 2 years old or so, I’ll have to lug the long lens and head back one of these days!

Can you guys believe I have yet to go to the Honolulu Zoo?
Tsk, tsk.
Brian, next time you go please take a photo of the lion.

Wow! You haven’t been there yet? You gotta go, it’s getting better and better… I don’t recall seeing a lion the last time we went but I’ll have to look harder next time, the tiger cubs were out and about tho, that was cool to see (not OUT out … but you know, out in the their pen) =)
