Hi all, I am sorry I have not been participating much, I have a lot going on here.
Here's an image from a few months ago, I just desaturated it and with levels created a plain B&W image. What do you think? Comments critiques and suggestions are welcome.

I've also removed the clipped birds from the edges.
Enjoy.
Not enough birds. Too many merges... There are, however, some cool wing positions there.
Thanks Artie, I actually like the untidyness here and the different poses, even the black dots work to me as, IMO (very personal of course) they give the feeling of and ink splah, more birds would have been better I know, but I still like it as it is. Thanks again!
I like the splotches and the black dots and the abstract look, I just do not like the merges. For me, the merges violate one of my primary artistic principles: no merges!
Very artistic Ramon. Looks like someone splashed black paint onto a plain canvas. Very nice, what are they?

Brian, these are Grassland Yellow Finches.
Ramon, I like the artistic abstract feel to this and the B&W looks great!Well done.
Hi Ramon, Creative in the way you chose to handle the subject matter. To me the image is very interpretive and one can spend time doing just that.....
does look like ink splashes. pretty cool. it's a little out there for me. looks like a card you might see if you went to the shrink!!!
Like the concept, Ramon. Has a very abstract feel. Personally though, I would like to see the wings for more of the birds, don't like how many of them are just black dots.
I too like the concept. perhaps getting in closer with a crop might make it stronger.
I feel if you removed the birds that are more "spotty" and left just the birds that are in good form, you might have a whole other image on your hands, Ramon. I'd also give it a big splash of sharpening and really crisp up the edges of each bird.
