    Ugly birds - but a great shot! I like how they seem to be following the leader in a little curving dance. Brought a big smile!

    Thanks, Gerald

    This is so very artistic, Joe! Just love the high key effect and your perfect techs. I've never printed or framed a bird photo, but if I had something like this, I would.

    Joe:

    A great choice for our theme this month. I thought the thumbnail looked very promising, and the actual image didn't disappoint! The sense of action, different poses, high key water, good dof, all good.

    Yes, wish the center bird was more our way, but the overall effect is very good.

    Cheers

    Even though 2 out of 3 three birds are looking away this image is a high impact one, quite visually strong. Very artistic, lots to like here.

    Very very nice. And it works even though 2 of the 3 birds are moving away from you!
    Very unusual and different (in a great way!)

    Once again, you're thinking outside the box, and I love it! There are times to break the rules, and this rule-breaker works well!

    This is a winner in my opinion, great high key shot, three birds, reflections and wings raised on the centre bird, it has everything. Bet it would look great as a large canvas on your wall.
