The tussling cranes photo- probably a 5 on the cut off feet. The action is compelling but when I start to immerse myself in the story the missing feet drag my eye away from the focal pint of the image. On the other hand, it’s snow so wouldn’t feet be obscured anyway I ask myself?

Crane and swan – I like the juxtaposition but don’t like the position of the crane hind end up.

Displaying crane – background tree no problem. As said already, it’s part of the background pattern. Not sure about the feet here either though.

A million THANKS for all the incredible knowledge you so generously share.

I like the composition, the background and the falling snow and of course the posture of the displaying crane. 0, to out of focus to be bothersome.
