This was taken a few weeks ago at Bosque Del Apache. I really like the formation of the birds but I wish the background was a little cleaner. I would love some comments and criticism.

Don't mind the bg here, would like to see more room behind second crane. Wing positions are not ideal. Would tone down highlights a bit (especially neck of second bird). Sharpness looks good. TFS

Hi Adam, I don't mind the background. I personally like images that show habitat without being distracting. If I were to suggest anything, I might see how masking over the darker strip at the top would change the presentation. Several ways you could do it. I would probably start with the clone tool set to a mid to low opacity. However it is not that distracting as is thought. Todd's has covered my other observations. Thanks for sharing.
