    I like the acorn in the beak, orange eye and HA. I wish you had the whole bird in the frame and more room in front. Is that mud on the beak? Nice image Tiago.

    Thank you Jim! Yes it's mud on the beak, because it was picking berried acorns.
    I wish I had more room to, but after more than 1 year of always having the cranes very far away, this time I had a family of 3 very close by. Nevertheless IMO it works well in terms of definition and having the acorn more visible in the pic.

    Nice detail and light on the head. I agree that I'd like to see the entire bird, along with a bit more room in front of the Crane. I would have removed the TC in this situation.
