This abstract image of wagtails was taken from a bridge in the Kruger National Park. There was no serious digital manipulation here, just routine Photoshop work.
Camera: Canon 1DS Mk II. Lens: Canon EF 70-200 mm at 200 mm.
1/250 sec, f3.2, ISO 200.
I like the patterns in the sand and the shadows. A crop from the left might very well strengthen it by getting the birds roughly in a thirds position in the frame. Way to think "out of the box."
later and love, artie
