It's nice to see 3 AMOY in the frame, and in flight. Wish they weren't so close to the bottom and left of the frame. There appears to be too much dead space above them but it would be an easy fix if you were so inclined. Great exposure on a tough subject.
I do like that formation Joe, and front on view as well, unlike most of my in flight shots which are generally the rear view. I too wonder about why not crop more from the top as there seems to be a lot of space above
Its the sort of shot I'm striving for with Oyster catchers and Lapwings at the moment, so this is great to see. Personally I love it !!. Wonderful light, great perspective in the Oyster catchers, colours, details and sharpness bang on. I can see what others say about a crop, but that depends also on the original shot.
