    Awesome capture of them in flight. The picture is incredibly sharp and detailed. I like the way you cropped it horizontally. At least, it looks like you did this; nicely composed.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Great work. I tried to catch some in flight a couple of weeks ago without enough light... They are beautiful birds.

    These are gorgous birds, and I love the scene you've captured.
