Another beauty, Peter. The separation between the birds was a bit nicer in the first post, but I like this comp with the more muted bg better overall.

All seven in sharp focus, no easy task Peter. Love the early light and setting/BG with meadow, trees, and sky.

Very well done! devil

Excellent to get all in sharp focus. Looks like home. I assume that's salt marsh beneath them? cool

Always nice to see Snowys in a group flight like this. Good job capturing them. Very pleasing image.
