Ian, very nice silhouette! Those magenta clouds are just awesome. Would be stronger if the ibis in the middle were a little farther back, making the pattern consistent. Good eye to see this and capture it!

[Ian Cassell]

Thanks, Kerry. Yes, I know about that darned middle guy. I tried to convince him to spread out, but he would have none of it! :)

Love the pic and the color of the sky :)

Ian - lovely colors of the sky. I would have preferred a slightly faster shutter speed for more crispness to the silohouettes. Good point by Kerry about the non-conformist 4th bird but we all know how hard it is to get nature to cooperate. Nicely done.

TFS,
Rachel

Thanks Shreeni and Rachel. I had a couple with faster SS, Rachel, with the birds in a pattern that isn't as nice. I also didn't like them as much because there was no feeling of motion.

Love the sky and the feel of the picture, as noted stronger if they are not overlapping.

Love the silhouette and composition is nice. Evening light looks good, soft muted background is sweet.
