Flight Four-mation

The LLC is too bright, and these Mergie hens are kind of distant, but their take-off and flight following the stream got me with this one. Along with the wing positions being all the same making the turn. Branch sticking up can go too.

Cropped down about 40% shot at 300mm, ISO-400 w/ D-90 (which I had to return today. :( ). Thanks for looking and C&C! Larger posted.

I like the idea here Bill and multi bird flight shots are really tough. It looks like you did well getting all the birds and I like the comp. My one nit is that the birds look a bit overexposed along with the LLC as you mention. I think you could selectively bring down just those areas and thus improve this image.

Bill, I like the similar flight poses and the unusual perspective looking down on them with all the nice habitat included. I agree that the birds seem overexposed.
