I like it Ariene Selected ss speed works great Also like the staration Wilsh for less overlap and birds flying more into you Great idea to go soft in these circumstances Excellent !!!!

I like the Miami Dolphins color scheme but agree with Al about the merges. Watch the flock as it fluxes (warning: do not try to say that fast 3X). Try to make the images when all the birds are clear of each other (and when a nice compostional balance is achieved).
later and love, artie

A very unusual and effective image Arlene.
Really nice blur effect for me. I would like to see them turned a little more toward the camera, but minus a remote control unit . . . ;)

Thanks

Very painterly and colorful, Arlene, late welcome to Out of the Box, we were out of town with limited time :(
Nits mentioned, but still very pretty.
