I love these birds and I love your portrait! Such beautiful pin sharp focus. Great composition. The light in his eye is so pretty. Your light management is perfect.
The muted background provides a lovely canvas to present your portrait on. Love it!

I like the eye colour too. It is beautiful. The patch of red on the crown of the head really add to the beauty of this bird. You have created a wonderful photo of a handsome bird.

And the Six Star goes to.....YOU and this wonderful portrait of a Sandhill.

This has everything going for it Grace. The position in the frame, lighting, details and the colors all come together to create a work of art worthy of inclusion in a magazine.

Well done my friend ~ Steve

Odd-looking birds for sure but you captured the head and neck and did it very well. I want to pet him---that's how inviting the smooth feathers are to me. Excellent focus and good background colors.

Nice head shot of the crane. Good focus. Good color. Sharp details, especially in the eye. The background works to set him off. Good composition. The only thing missing is the rest of the bird ;-). You can't really tell the size or awkwardness of the bird from just a head shot. Nicely done. Thanks for sharing.

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Outstanding close up of a Sandhill Crane Greenie! It is so pleasing to see white balance controlled perfectly on the white and red. Yes white balance DOES make a difference when it's done right.
A superb bird portrait with razor sharp focus, fine exposure, crisp details, eye clarity and
sa-wa-eeeeet DOF.
Everything I look for in bird Photography is here :-)
Bravo!!!
