    Good job getting the birds in synchronized flying and I like the sky color -- would be a good picture to experiment with a pano crop if you have more room on the right, Eiother way its a pleasing picture to look at.

    Bob:

    The sandhills here in Michigan are really setting up a racket as they congregate prior to heading south.

    Good points by Scott. I agree about a pano crop. Would be very easy to add canvas as needed.

    I would prefer a bit more light on their underwing area and wish the rear birds bill didn't merge with the wing of the front bird.

    Cheers

    Randy

    Very nice flight shot! Like the position of the birds as well.
