Always a fine line between working and not working with this type of shot...and for me this one does, very well :toast:

I like this a lot Chris. The pattern of in focus birds across the shot is nicely balanced and teh whole thing just works.

Gallery stuff :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast:

Too easy to just get the stock shots and forget about all other possibilities.

superb, love the style, only minor nit is the direction they are flying, slightly away from you, would prefer side on or slightly towards the camera, however the colour and blur are excellent, like it a lot

I like this shot a lot. Well done!

Think Paul H is right about the direction of flight but certainly an evocative an intersting shot that is more than well worth experimenting with.

Are you after the gallery market as well now?!
