Another awesome example of Floridas connection to nature and the ecosystem. Sand Hill Cranes can be found in co-existence with Man all over the State. An incredible bird that stands five to six feet tall, with wing spans of 20 feet or more. Yet they walk peacefully amongst the disruptions of Mans daily life Playful and lively, they often challenge Mans so called best friend. Not many pets dare challenge the Crane to a duel, not only because of their size, but also because of their thunderous chatter that echos for miles and miles. Through a series of painted layers, masking, channel separations, filters and extensive use of digital paint brushes, Thom's original digital photo of the magnificent Sand Hill Crane has been transformed into a mystical painting.
