I like it Dan !!!! With these type try coming up with no overlap for the birds The merging up front does detract from the image

The overall feel is very nice and particularly like the placement of the sun !!!

Dan,
Nice job panning with the Ibis. Nice concept and execution.
IMO the image feels a little tight. Is this a crop or full frame?

Intense mood and yes, I'd go a bit wider. Shame on the merging ones on the left, and on a positive note, you got them all in the frame, none clipped :)

Thanks for the feedback! I don't have a lot of confidence in blurs - in capturing them (visualizing the shot) or processing them (seems like you can do just about anything with them), so I was curious what the reaction would be to this.

It is a full-frame image. I may try to add some room to the left and remove that overlapping bird lower left - that would be quite a learning experience for me. But first I have a million other images to work through. ;-)
