I like it.

WOW... nothing more to say.. had to look in three times in deep to know it is floak of birds :)

Jeff said 698 days ago:

This is an intriguing photo. I like the postprocessing. Alfred Hitchcock would have loved this image (The Birds).

dcreighton said 698 days ago:

Thanks all.

@ Jeff- No postprocessing other then USM and typical curves for contrast. Pretty much as close to straight out of the camera as it gets with digital.

This is just fantastic. Looks like water... but not.

Spectacular. I thought it was water.

I was convinced it was blowing snow covered grass... wow. Lovely!

EssPea said 697 days ago:

Very well done. Is it out of focus birds in the background or a slow shutter speed that gives the blur effect?

Looking forward to the day you submit a photo that is not quickly featured so I can comment on it in relative privacy.

Just kidding. Bravo! Congratulations.

dcreighton said 695 days ago:

Thank you all very much for all the compliments, critiques, and ratings on this and my other images.

EssPea- The effect is a combination of both the background birds flying more side to side in the frame blurring more while the foreground birds were flying right at the lens. Still the slow shutter speed and visual compression from the telephoto accounts for most of what you see.

King- Thanks. That's a problem I don't mind having.
