    Love this James - the blur is just super and that sunset would be great by itself.

    James, I love this one even more. The soft dream like blur of the birds against those beautiful colors really makes this special. Super layers of colors.

    James,

    I love that because of the blur, the birds become wispy, graceful lines. The colors are gorgeous as well. Beautifully done. If the image were mine I might attempt one minor correction to slightly lighten up the left side and darken the right side of the image to make the transition from dark to light less noticeable.

    Enjoy how the blur "lightens" the effect of the mass of the flock. The image wisps appear lighter than air. Beautiful sunset colors.

    Beautiful in every way, James. The blur gives the birds an ephemeral quality that is gorgeous and the water almost looks like you used a fractalius filter.

    Like this one even better than your last one. Awesome colors. Having more blur (1/15) to the birds really gives it great sense of motion and energy. The birds create a kind of rough gradation filter to the colors of the sky and water.

    I love how the entire frame is filled with the fish crows. The backdrop is spectacular.

    Beautiful, James! I love the colors and layers you captured in this and those ghostly birds are wonderful!

    If this were mine, I would lighten/paint over the darkest areas of the 2 birds near the ULC....the one that's off by itself and the one exiting the frame. I'm not sure why but those tiny dark spots are drawing my eye much more than I think they should.
