Taken at Bosque as the sun was rising at one of the crane pools. I focused on the juvenile and was happy to get good "eyes" from the others as they began leaning forward to test their navigational options. I removed a partial crane on the upper left and did a bit of cleaning up under a leg or two...

I love the colours throughout the image, and the glaring pose on the two cranes. Lovely detail Ann with a very nice BG. I wished that OOF Crane wasn't there. It does drag my attention from the main subjects.
The front trio are awesome, and I love the behaviour they are doing. Great colours. Yes to the image being a bit tight and for the need of CW rotation. Otherwise good stuff, I'm liking the early morning mood you got here.
Beautiful light and the front 3 cranes are excellent. I tried a version where I cloned out the back bird and leveled the shot. Also added some canvas to make the birds less cramped. Of course all of this is much easier with the original and it was only a quick edit. Thoughts?
Hi Ann, lovely early morning soft light and colours, and well timed to capture the trio 'surveying'. Their eyes pop nicely, and I like the raised leg of the rear Crane. Before reading Dan's comment, I also felt the image needed some CW rotation. Isaac's repost works well, ( great removal work Isaac ) and with his, I would maybe take a bit off the top.
Surveying a take-off....
