Great image...i like the mood and the sunset colors.

[Brendan Dozier]

Very nice! With their pose, the look like they are almost suspended or floating, rather than flying. Great mood, nice color.

[Ian Anderson]

Unusual moment of flight for both birds and the silhouetting and vibrant nondescript sky makes them look otherwordly.

[Don Nelson]

Well seen! Excellent use of silhouetting against the sky instead of trying to show detail in the bird.
