Description
I was down at my favorite close by wildlife refuge yesterday and got some sandhill shots. I liked this one especially on looking at i closely I see that the lower one’s wing is tucked in between the other’s legs and tail! Had to have been very momentary.
Specific Feedback
General impression. Cropping?

Dave, I don’t claim much skill at bird photography, but wonder if you saw Ray Hennessey’s NPN webinar yesterday? If not, you may want to visit it - especially if you are asking, “What more does this image and the birds need?” The formation of the birds is amazing, a fabulous capture. Nice and sharp too. Terrific image.
Very good, Dave. The focus and exposure look spot on and I like the slight overlap between the two in this case since it doesn’t obscure anything important. I could see taking a tad off the top and/or adding a tiny bit of canvas on the left, but that’s the only thing I’d change.
this is a really good flight shot Dave. You have really good detail and separation of the cranes from a tough BG. Nice one.
Nice image Dave. Great to get both birds in focus with fine poses. I could see adding a little room to left as Dennis suggests.
Good detail here and having two birds instead of one elevates the image. I’m not a fan of one bird against the sky, but the second bird adds interest. Nice capture.
