Jim, I like the comp but it seems to be a little dark to me. Wonder if lightening it up a bit would help.

I like the composition and the various layers of colors, Jim, but do agree with Walter regarding the darkness of the image. Nice catch of the Cranes coming in for a landing.

I really like the midsection of this image with the orange trunks against the cool blues of the landing cranes.

I like this cropped a little bit from the top. Eliminating most of the sky (leaving a bit of sky and some room between the uppermost crane and the edge of the frame) helps put more attention on the birds and makes it more difficult for the eye to wander to the brightest area of the full frame as presented here.

Thank you all for the feedbacks.
- The image is bit dark. I will bright it up a little bit while try to maintain color saturation.
- Crop out some sky from top of the frame.
