    Hi Joel,
    Nice incoming flight angle and BG. I would crop from RHS to make the bird bigger in frame and move him to the right thus making him less centered. I also see a bit of a sharpening halo along bottom of wings( easily fixed!)

    Very Bosque. Love the habitat and incoming flight pose is pretty.

    Hi Joel, I too like the incoming pose, and nicely separated from the BG. The crane is nice and sharp, and I agree there is a halo visible. Placement wise, yes to taking a bit off the RHS, and I would add a touch to the top and a little more to the bottom.

    Good suggestions above Joel, nice exposure for the bright light, sharp with a nice bg.
