Totally FABULOUS!! Wow! I wish you'd left out the vase bit. It would have been a 10 instead of a 9.

I'm amazed at this image in Minimal! Wow!

The S is there and so is the detail. Well done. Voted earlier.

Fine detail - such very interesting birds, I always think. Nice dof to get the background blur and bokeh. Voted earlier.

Coming back to comment and bump up.

Color and details are great. You captured some great details in that I can see the textures on the beak and the 'pitted/ripples' in the white patch area near the the eye. The lower 1/4 of the shot is not in as sharp focus I think that you could crop that out and made this look like a widescreen shot. Not only would it take away the soft focus area but the long rectangle shape of the composition would complement match that of the long head of the crane.

Almost more of a P but still OK.
