They certainly make a dramatic subject Phil. Maybe a little more space to the left of the image but no major thing for me. Certainly a well caught flight shot.

Well caught. Reminds me of the Camargue.

I have always found these very difficult to turn into an attractive picture. You have done well here, and produced a dramatic result.

Very smart. A bit more space around them would be nice but it is still a cracker :wink:

Brings back happy memories. My only nit is the shadow over the lowest bird's head. Not a whole lot you can do about that.
