John: Some beautiful light and a nice silhouette. If there is one thing in the image that I wish was different, it is the merges of the cranes. I think the image would be even stronger if they were not merged. Tough to capture, I know.

Greetings, John...The sunset colors are beautiful and the composition is very pleasing. I, too, wish there was more separation between the three cranes.

Some great colour here and very nice silhouettes, to bad about the cranes merging ever so slightly but still a very pleasant image!

Beautiful sunset colors. I like that all their wing positions are different. It adds to the interest. Nice job.

Other than the lack of separation already mentioned, I like the colors and the silhouettes. The texture in the sky is a nice bonus. Well done.
