In anticipation of growing discussion over the potential for reintroducing Eurasian Cranes to various UK wetland systems, I recently spent some time at the tried and tested Lake Hornborga in Sweden.
In addition to 15,000 cranes, wintering whooper swans are ever-present and with the aid of an extension tube, can be photographed at VERY close quarters!
Not too sure about this one, not quite one thing or the other for me. I think I would have prferred to see the whole head or just the eye. Just my opinion though. Any joy with the cranes? Eric
You never post any tech so it always makes it difficult! For me anyway! If this isn't full frame I'd like a touch more room all round! I'm not the biggest fan of portraits but I do like to see part of the neck when viewing one! Great exposure though! and I wouldn't mind a few cranes over this way!
Think I'm a bit of a compulsive frame-filler with portraits too, but would like more of the back of the head, to show it tapering down to the neck. Other than that the BG works really well and like the details in the yellows

nice detail though
For me, the composition works, although i find the thin thread {part of an insect
Nicely done

Maybe it fits what you had in mind when you shot it
Agree with Alan about the clipped bit of grass.
Sorry to be -ve.
