These Sandhill Cranes are winter residents, returning each year to feed on the un-harvested grain in local farm fields. I'd appreciate feedback on this image. I selectively sharpened and raised the curve just a bit on the birds, darkened the FG slightly, and ran NR on BG.

Hi Carolyn, I quite like the framing and tones of colour within the capture, but sadly for me the image looks soft, with no real clarity/definition to the subjects. You may wish to apply more USM, how much did you apply?
