I took this image when large flocks of starling flew in for the night to rest in a sheltered area.
I tried a lot with different shutter speed.
The image I like most is the one I attached.
I really like to hear your image critique...
At least I had a great evening, joining the birds and my camera :S3:, even if your critique is heavy :w3
BTW: Good to be back here again; hope I have more time to learn here again!

I love everything about this one including the black and white look, the different degrees of blurring, and the shape of the flock. Great to see you back here.

Love the different degrees of bluring as it gives the feel that the flock if rolling (if that is the right word)

Wow this is great!! Very creative and artistic. I love the distorted curvature on some of the birds. I'm copying this to OOTB as this image deserves to bee seen there...:w3

Vary rare I like blurs. I love this one. Abstract and graphical, B&W was definately the right choice. I hope this image is hanging somewhere!

Fantastic composition and blur. I love the B&W and the way the birds in the center seem to be on a diagonal. Nice to see you posting here again.:S3:

With the strong diagonals and the horizontal gray blurs in the negative space on the left, I assumed that the starlings were flying left to right. It was a surprise when I realized they were going in the opposite direction. That shows the value of good composition. You did a great job on both capture and processing.

Very nice image and processing. B&W is perfect for this, with the simplicity of the colors. Well done! :cheers:
