Photographed in Ireland about 3 years ago now...

The weather was outstanding for the whole week and I never had so much fun photographing the avian world.

Hey Jasper,

I really like the feeling on this one. So many birds!! I'm sure you had a blast. One thing tho, I wish the first flying bird was not in the center of the sky but I kinda of like it as it is. It gives a nice flow.

Very nice job Jas. I very much like the color tones of the clouds and the wide angle.
Typical wall-hanging image.;)

Excellent image, Jasper. I really like the composition, sky and 3D feel this image has. It makes me want to go there sometime. :)

Nothing to complain about here, fresh perspective, a beautiful sky and the birds in the sky make it excellent. Nice one buddy, congrats on making it to moderator here!

I really like the DOF, the colours of the sky, the whole image. I would have this printed at poster size. :)

Nice composition and like how the highpoint of the background rocks are placed a bit to the side. Like that sky and the birds flying in that formation...well, you couldn't have asked for better. The wide angle makes for a nice perspective.

I really like the depth in this photo created by the diagonals the mountain top creates

Love the depth of field in this, shown both in the nesting colony and the birds flying towards the camera! Great image!
