Very nice scene with the crane looking over the nest and seeing the egg, the larger image has some nice detail on the crane and I like your overall composition with this pose, excellent shot, well done.

I really like the vertical presentation Marc. The comp is very nice. Love the bird's position, nest, egg, and habitat. A great shot.

A real nice image that could only benefit from some softer lighting.
