Bosque del Apache, the snow geese lifting off in one chaotic bunch.

Looks great in b&w and certainly makes me wonder how they manage not to collide. Massively chaotic.

It's interesting how much motion this captures in only 1/25 of a second. Nicely done, and befitting of this week's theme.

Very nice chaotic image Kathy. Do you think a tighter crop would make it more chaotic? Just a suggestion.

Thanks for sharing

Bill

This does look quite chaotic! Your slower shutter speed to catch the blur really helps add to the sense of chaos. The B&W treatment also helps attention to be on the blur of birds rather than getting focused on any colored part of the image. Great for the theme, Kathy. :smile:

Just enough 'form' left @ 1/25th, & the blur effect shows movement nicely in this chaotic scene..
The B&W is perfect for this one, well done Kathy! :toast:
