Absolutely stunning!!! Indeed this crane is floating between the layers of heaven and earth. Excellent find and beautifully captured and composed. Love the delicate pastel hues of the clouds reflected on the water. The pose of the bird looks as if he/she is dancing. Great, great work - I truly hope this lands a spot in the top three.

Zen. I like how beak and legs fall in place with the other lines in the scene.

Some might say shoehorn. I reckon give it a chance. Great shoehorn! The bird certainly is between heaven and earth and it creates magic (shade) to lure the fish right? Interesting colours and pleasing PP. Almost as if you had a strobe above him.

beautiful egret in his natural habitat, not easy to capture these guys and not blow out the whites, nicely done
