 Although this may not be my technical best, it has the most meaning for me since I took it while with my father shortly before he passed away. We were in a Burgerking (fastfood) parkinglot in Chicago. The birds were waiting for handouts- even though this area is miles from a large body of water! Auto levels, contrast and color correction. Some dodging on the body. The sun was in a perfect position to "outline" the birds. I did nothing with the background- it was a very clear day.

Smmoth and well-composed. Some detail in the feathers seem lost, perhaps due to neat image (or similar) Still a nice shot and well exposed.

Nicely captured bird in flight. The backlighting and blue sky really help to accent the beauty of the bird. "Neat" Image might have helped take some of the graininess out of the sky.
