I spent a lot of time on my second trip to get multiple cranes in flight. I was happy to get this positioning in early morning light.

I agree, the wing position is excellent.

Very nice. The pairing is fine, and the colors are always wonderful there.

Nice job getting them framed so well together, Kurt. I like the opposite wing positions and it looks like f/8 worked well to keep them both in nice focus. Looks like you had some ice on the pond that morning.

Excellent in-flight image of this pair, Kurt. Wonderful framing, light and colors, and great timing on the wing positions.

Absolutely wonderful. First December in the last couple of years I've not made it to Bosque, I miss it a lot.

Simply beautiful. Everything came together nicely for this shot. Perfect wing position with neither bird hiding part of the other, perfect positioning of the two birds, excellent composition. Birds are sharp, background is not. In my view not improveable.

Absolutely gorgeous. The relationship of the birds to one another, how their wingspread differs, exposure and colors. Great shot.
