Nice soft light,sharp,well exposed.

Would prefer the head around our way,and not intersecting with the band of vegetation.

Might do modest crop up from bottom, perhaps 1/2 of the free space

Cheers

I've enjoyed this series a lot, Dan.
The nice light and the environment somehow take me to the place.
A bit of head turn would have been even better. Agree with the crop from below.
Nice work. TFS.

I like the AM light here Dan. Also like the changing shades of color throughout the image.

Hey Dan, excellent feather detail, sharp, and agree with the others on the crop from the bottom. Ive enjoyed your series of cranes.
