(Copied to OOTB) Night flight of Common Cranes

[sulasula]

In the season, every night the Common cranes are flying to the roosting place in the Hornborgasjön reserve in Sweden. I tried to catch the moment when flying cranes inspire other to move. Your comments are welcome.

Peter, very interesting mood to this image. Love the colors and the silhouette.
I think you may need to resize the image, our limit is 800 pixels on the vertical side and although I didn't download to check it feels bigger. If you need help, let us know.
I will copy this one to out Out of the Box Gallery, since I feel it fits both. Thanks for sharing!

Hmm...

I like it but I almost wish that the two birds in flight were actually blurred a bit more.

I might also try lightening the cyan / blue at the top to bring it more into a slightly earlier twilight to match the glow at the bottom.

I would clone out the bird in the extreme lower left (turn it into a consistent distant tree background) as it does catch my eye just enough so that main subject doesn't get my eyes full attention.

Petr,

This is a great image, the mood and colors and feeling is nice. I like the amount of blur and the comp.

Would like to see more of a side head angle on the main subject but I like it anyway. It might look even better with a little lighter.
