 I'm not sure about this shot. I like it and I don't like it. I expect the voters to be the same except more will probably not like it and those that do won't like it a lot so a low 5 score is my prediction.

I had a bit of fun with the post processing because the strong bright blue sky was boring (to me). I used Topaz BW then played with the sliders for the blue and increased the transparency. I then painted back in the bird's colour (slightly more than original) and then played with curves.

Amazing light, and the sky provides unreal contrast. Quite an interesting image.

I don't recognize the birds. It's a unique capture of the overhead flight. The background sky is indigo blue in places and the birds have some bright highlights. I'd love to see more detail in the birds, but I do appreciate the flock in flight
