    Supreet I am sure if I had been there I would have taken the same shot, it is easy for me say sitting here with a pre dinner whisky in hand that the image is a little to busy, there are a couple of birds in good focus but they don't quite stand out. A difficult scenario and I don't think I would have done any better myself, maybe you have more images where the birds are not quite to crowded?

    Nice to see that many birds in a frame. I only see similar incident in New Mexico, when all the Snow Geese took off covering the sky.

    Dear Supreet,

    I think I know where you were going with this and love your experimenting:)

    Just a humble thought: have you thought about focusing on the birds on the ground and allowing the rest to "fade away"? A mere suggestion, because my eyes are wondering all over the frame, looking for something to "settle upon".

    Thank you so much for sharing, I look forward to what the other members have to say, also hoping to see more from you!

    Kind regards,
    Gabriela Plesea

    I love the photo Supreet! Interesting how the birds are all facing the same general direction. Thanks for sharing it :)

    I like Gabrela's feedback re focussing. I hope to remember that trick it in the field. Thanks Gabriela :)
