Beautiful shot of this Crane. Nice side profile and eye contact. The exposure and feather detail look great. Only nit would be the fact that the road is running thru the shot and not an all grass BG. Well captured Girish

I like the pose, HA, sharpness, exposure and composition. I wish the road wasn't there too. Nice image Girish.

Sharp & good detail for this great looking Crane, well done Girish.

I actually kinda like that road and the way it curves behind the subject! Vertical was the way to go, I only wish the subject was a little lower in the frame and I would remove the two small vertical lines in front of the belly.

Hi Girish, super pose, sharp, great yellow eye, and I like how the crane is separated nicely from the BG. Light looks good too. Im fine with the road, and agree about removing the OOF stick, and the other strange line behind it.

I like the soft color palette here and the environment adds to the shot for me. Nice soft light as well.
