This was taken at Elmley Marshes about 2 years ago. I thinkl that the white sky actually makes the shot look better than it would have done had the sky been blue.

Pretty darn good for a thirteen year old!! It's difficult to know what to crop out with these group shots (perhaps nothing).I like all those red beaks!

I agree the white sky is good and also the pano crop.Nice one Oscar.

I'm fifteen.....

Normally when the sky is not at its best its a manky grey but the white does indeed seem to suit and show the subjects well. The only thing for me is I dont like to see some of the subjects chopped off but realise they can be difficult to isolate when bunched together. Sometimes of course you can remove the odd bird or two but then it doesnt always work as the pack becomed unbalanced. Worth a try though.
Bye the way I am only 26.

Cracking shot!!!!!!!

Danny

Amazing shot and visionfor such a young head well done

Good work Oscar.

ps., I'm guessing Rosie meant that you were 13 when you took the shot

Pano crop works well Oscar

and the lack of blue sky in this case works well

You pulled it off with this one white or grey sky's always give me a problem.

I'm 38ish plus VAT.
