    Hi Jonathan,
    I am trying to like this but the pattern/placement of the birds within the frame are not pleasing to my eye.
    There are 3 birds that are not sharp which hurts the image.
    I would evict the last bird on the RHS of the frame ( soft) and the lapwing second one in from LHS that is angling slightly away ( and also a bit soft). I think that would really help because the wing positions of the remaining birds are very nice ( especially the one with full wings up and the other with wings full down),

    Hi Jonathan. I agree with Gail on this one, there is took much to look at but nothing to concentrate on. I would keep just the one bird in the frame which is the one lower left. I have lots of these flying around me but always in a flock and always too far away to be able to concentrate on one individual bird. Techs are very good as always by you.
    David.
