Very well-fed crane! (or just extra-fluffy feathers)
Nice detail and pose. Needs a little bit more room on the left, imo - easy with thr content-aware tool, if you don't have the pixels.

Very cool Barbara. Great pose from the crane although a little tight. I would try the content aware fill to add some canvas to the left and top. The background is also quite complimentary. Well done!

Love the feather detail. A little more room all around would definitley improve this already nice image.

Barbara,
You got a great pose here, I do not think it is "tight"
