Lovely image, I really like the reflected glow from the water against the bird's wings. I might consider including a bit more of the reflection on the water, if it was captured in the frame.

beautiful color palette here complimenting the wing feather colors... I like the reflection in the water and would like to see more of it if you have it. Nice details and the drops flying off the feet.

The dappled light reflected back on the cranes wing is really nice here. Agree it would be nice to see a bit more reflection in the water if at all possible.

Lovely flight shot in nice light, great wing position and reflection. I agree with the above: a bit more reflection if it exists, with some taken off the top. If no more image at the bottom, maybe a pano with some off the top?

Sadly, that's all the reflection I got. Think I'll take your suggestion Bill and take some off the top. I usually still with 2x3 (or try to) but I think a pano might be just the ticket here.

I like the wing position, water drops, colours and I could see a pano crop working well here as per Bill's suggestion

I agree with the comments earlier. Beautiful Image.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks all. For what it's worth, he is my crop/pano...
