21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Crane Congregation

This photograph is composed of 7 images averaged together. The outcome creates a blurred effect and adds an element of movement to the image. It also makes the cranes look as if they’re part of a painting, colored with thin, definitive brush strokes.
