Good eye Aam. Very neatly composed even as a spontaneous capture. The lines of the walkways both lead into the frame and create "movement" back and forth as they frame the birds in their randomly individual actions and positions even as they must all be reacting to the same event - your intrusion on the scene? The bird on the left seems to be bouncing off the picture frame. Neat. -tv

The processing looks good on my monitor- though I think I need a new one with better contrast. I do like the angles and you've caught lots of fluttering motion here Aam. Did you send a cat after them? That's mean ;-)

Well Aaamm mate wot can I say!,.....The WB is awesome init but the exposure is up the poo. Try this in B&W to see if it turns it into an ahrt picy. If not buy the Lucis filter, that will fix it:-)

I stuck it in pending and you can delete it any time you want. :-) CJ

Would love to see your version, CJ.

Aam, I played with this and if you like, I can put it in pending - I thought it looked better but it's all a matter of taste. Digital cameras just don't produce pictures like film and it seems every picture needs editing. CJ

Thanks, CJ. I'm no Rod, who uses B&W to mask mistakes. I man up :)

Are you running at birds now Aam so you can take their picture! :-) I like the geometric lines here and the different postures of the birds, especially the one in the upper right. It might look nice to play around with the PP a bit to make the colors and birds stand out a bit more. Good shot! :-) CJ
