This is really nice, Ken, The cranes almost jump out at you they are so crisp and clear. The colors are amazing also. Well done. Best shot of this species I've seen.

Super details on these beauties. The bg provides wonderful contrast and just makes the birds pop. Sharon

Amazing color patterns and a nice crown to top things off. I like how they really stand out against the green background. The lager version has some wonderful detail, excellent shot.

Outstanding
I would clone out brown dead area in ulf and also the stalks in top middle.
Delightful expressions and crown.
They look like Las Vegas showgirls
