    I might have moved the horizon in the photo a little more 'up' in the frame so that its about 1/3 of the way towards the top. I might have also placed the sun more to the right or the left in the frame as well rather than dead center.

    I think that the birds really add to the photo - like that element. Thanks for posting this - some nice warm light captured.

    Hey cap'n, welcome to Dgrin! I think it's a lovely shot: great color and classic subject matter. Very well excuted, too! thumb.gif

    In general you'll find that people prefer photos to be embedded in your post rather than just linked. If you need help there's a tute showing how to do this.

    Hope to see more from you! :D

    Thanks for the reply. I have to let you know that this shot was actually a point and shoot. I saw the birds flying and pointed the camera and shot! This was the outcome. Not bad for a unplanned shot...

    Quite good actually for an unplanned shot in my estimation. Thanks for sharing it.

    You're right bauerman. However I think either of those actions would have eliminated half of the birds and the birds make that shot.
