Nice to see Sarus Cranes. Wish the one on the right was turned towards you, enhancing the eye contact. A bit more space at the bottom would be good as the feet are nearly touching the frame. The light is nice. When was this photographed? Thanks for sharing.

Good to see some Sarus cranes. I didnt see them when I had gone to bharatpur, though I heard them.

The best way to photograph Sarus cranes is to look at the direction they are moving and then place yourself accordingly. It may not always be possible due to water. These are big birds and easily fill the frame when on flight or when they spread their wings.

In this case, the eye contact is not ideal as they are moving away. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
