    Good job! The uniformity of the wing angles make it a pleasant image.
    I can't think of a better crop on this one.

    Cheers, Ilija

    I was trying to work out what was so appealing. Yes, the wing positions. Well done Dan. I really like this. If it were mine I would do a slight CW rotate and crop to a pano. Wonderful idea here!

    Hi Dan - like the grouping of the birds - not a lot of detail presnt there - but still like the overall feel.
    Would crop the reflection out entirley and give it a real pano feel.

    keep them coming :)

    Dan, I like the reflection it adds to the pattern and that's what this image is about. I would probably try to bring up a bit more color,but not much. Different strokes for different folks I guess!!

    Good job of getting all the birds in frame. Like how the sky and water merge together in one colour. Do like it with the reflection, personal taste I guess.

    Hi Dan I'm wondering about the exposure here? Birds look sort of dark .... water looks fine but seems to be able to take more exposure !!

    Hi Dan,
    I like the composition and capture, the only thing that it needs is a slight increase in saturation and contrast...:cool:

    Very nice pattern. Like the reflection as well. Looks to me like the birds could use a bit of sharpening.
    Good job!
