Good catch! I could wish the birds were higher above the OOF flocks and better separated, but a nice catch all the same.

Hi John, good job of getting both cranes sharp in the frame and great light on this pair. I also wish they were a bit higher over the flock in the water and for some separation, but still nice job taking advantage of what you were given.

Nice light on the birds - good eye contact and I love the spread of the wings. The birds in the background adds a lot to this image

Hi John! I guess I can't argue with any of the suggestions/nits already left, but at the same time this image caught my attention quickly on the thumbnail/gallery view and I liked it immediately. IMO this is one of those images that you can find possible improvements for in the field or in post, but I don't really want to because I'm simply enjoying the frame too much exactly as presented. Honestly--I'd be ecstatic if this were in my files.

Thank you John and congratulations on your kids accomplishments. They seem to be a chip of the old block. You have every right to be very proud of your talented children.
