Hey Sandy, a dream shot for me: Cranes in flight at eye level. Excellent. Depending on the original image, maybe a panorama crop would interesting as well, since you may get rid of the left-upper part of the image. That said, I am impressed ! Cheers, Hans

Excellent, Sandy. I like that they both have similar wing positons. Nice exposure and detail, and the harmonious BG is a bonus to the image. When did you go and how were the numbers?

Excellent detail and perfect dof, Sandy. Nice light on the cranes and the similar wing positions are cool.

The identical poses of the two birds works very well here Sandy, and I like the background too

The lighting really accents the feather coloration on both birds well and you nailed the focus. The complimentary BG really brings the birds forward.

Excellent shot Sandy, just now saw this, wonderful timing to get both cranes wing position the same and the background really compliments the image, way to go.
