Nice -- I can see the open beaks and hear the those loud rattling calls. I like the layout in this vertical crop

Hi Jim,
I like the comp here, and the birds look sharp too. I think that more symmetry in the poses/positioning of the birds would make this stronger, but that isn't easy to come by. I'd also like a lower angle sun casting some more light on the underside of the birds. It sounds like this is a great location for cranes. I'll look forward to more of your work!

I like the idea here Jim. For me this is just a bit too contrasty. Maybe go after something similar during nice early or late light.
