7D, EF-S 15-85 at 19mm, f/5.6, 1/40, ISO800, cropped to 16:9 from full frame, Bosque Crane Pool.
I have average feeling about this image, but my wife and friends like it a lot, what do you think?
Nice comments above. I also like this one a lot. And have to suggestions: one, post a larger version, two some CCW rotation would improve this image a lot. f
The patterns of the bird looks good and so does the setting. I'm not sure if it needs rotation, the hill range looks even, only the shoreline is tilted.
The pink is killer as are the bird patterns. The problem might be with the shutter speeds. With fairly distant birds, 1/40 is neither here nor there--not slow enough for a nice blur and too slow for really sharp... Been there, done that.
