    These three Ravens displayed magnificent flying skills in very strong wind.

    Hi Craig, great interaction captured here, with all three having interesting inflight poses. Well exposed on the blacks, I would like to see some more space on the left. Great GC BG.

    Often see these and similar birds doing this, but never been quick enough to get the action camera, well timed

    Thanks for your comments... I think the strong wind that was present helped to slow down the action.

    Awesome action, and the trio pops nicely against the bright BG. I'd love more room at left and top. Actually, a centered comp would work well with the various body and head angles.

    Great interaction,Craig.You almost achieved eye contact on all three of them.Still , this action happens very fast ,so you did well. Another vote for a central composition.
