I don't know if the birds are large enough to critique this image. But what do you think?

[Lance Peters]

Hi Cheryl - IMHO the pattern of birds is not strong enough, more seperation between them and a better pattern with all wings up or all wings down or a mixture - just something to add some Ommph to the shot.

Do like the pano crop and how you have left room for them to fly into :)

[Harold Davis]

the separation would be a key point. in this type image, i think a pleasing shape to the flock is what makes it. and/or some awesome light and sky. did you get any up close!!?

[Gus Cobos]

Hi Cheryl,
I like what you were trying to do here...agree with Mr. Peters on the seperation and the wing position, you have one too many birds with the pancake wing display...looking forward to your next one...:cool:

Thanks. I appreciate your help.

Hi Cheryl Agree with comments It does make for a good image but you do need separation and wing position for all !! Seems close to impossible but can be done !!!1
