A great image with a beautiful background, soft light and colors matching the feathers of the crane well.
The head position is perfect and the eye very sharp. I also very much like the position of the crane.
You did well Sasan ... ; - )

Nice light here. The look back makes this frame work.

Boy, you do have great light in your area!
Very nice image and IQ.
Image feels a bit tight at the bottom and if you have a sliver more (ie 1-2%) I would include it.
One of the hardest things in bird photography is to make a plain brown bird look beautiful and you have succeeded!

Wow the light is gorgeous! Great call going vertical, and the crane gave you a good head turn. My first thought was that it is a bit tight at bottom, glad Gail mentioned it. Otherwise top marks!

Very pretty shot here. Beautiful light and that backside view with the perfect head turn is great. I agree that a little more room below would be nice. I would clone out the dark grasses that stick up above and to the left of your signature.
