    This SHC duo were photographed in the Bosque crane pool in December. The blue was so intense, no saturation of the water was needed. These birds are simply never boring for me and never will be. It's amazing how they fly together with such grace.

    Marina, I like the opposite postures of the two cranes,with a good angle. The back crane showing between the wings of the front crane makes this image work so well. Well captured.

    Great capture. I like how the bottom Cranes head is framed in the upper cranes wings

    Ideal juxtaposition, framing and exposure. Nicely seen and well executed.

    The top birds head seems softer than the bottoms or maybe the bottoms is a tad over sharpened. Easy fix either way.

    You couldn't ask for a more perfect flight interaction than this. You got good focus on both birds, and the perfect opposition of wings looks great. I might trim a bit of canvas off the bottom of the frame. Love the title too!

    Beautiful composition, Marina, and I like that you caught the birds over water/blue bg.

    Hi Marina. Beautiful light and a nice job of getting both birds sharp. The birds are positioned exactly right, relative to each other, to make this comp work. Well done.

    Very cool pose in both cranes. I agree the front one's head needs a little more sharpness, but otherwise an awesome comp and catchy title too. Well done Marina! :)

    This image shows good depth and dimension for me Marina. Slightly contrast and rich in color makes for a beautiful image set against that gorgeous water color! The framing of the head of the bottom cranes head by the top wings leads me right to this one as a focal point, I like that feet and heads and wings of both are all visible.
