Excellent. Sepia suits this really well. Love the motion on the birds wings and the overall composition of the shot.

i like how you framed this pic. nice. dropping the color levels creates a good look and feel as well, nice work.

Great sense of mood in this shot. I like the activity of the birds and the tonal conversion you used to make this have a more autumn almost erie feel to it. My only suggestion is to try and crop some of the hay bails out in the background by cropping just to the right of the foreground hay. Still a great capture and wonderful piece of art. 9 -danny

I've tried to comment this one twice. I like it and I don't. The sepia tone doesn't seem to "add" to this image (IMO). I sort of like the motion of the wings, but it seems like it's too strong of motion. The birds on the hay seem less than sharp, and blur into each other.

really like this shot, it has a definite mood. the slight motion blur adds to that feeling. Compostionally, I would have perhaps taken a shot from down lower so the top of the hay was above the horizon line. I think that would have improved the image quite a bit, currently the hay almst gets lost by being level with the top of the trees. Overall though I like it, the doutone effect works well here and, again, adds to the mood of the shot. Good Luck, Todd. 7

Nice job on getting the motion. Funny title. I know there is a lot of detatil in there but the colors(?) hide them.

This reminds me of the film "The Birds". The motion blur on the wings intensifies this image in my opinion.

Would like a bit more depth of field. The haystacks almost blends in with the background. With the bird lined up it seems omenious. A seen from a horror movie. I like how some of the birds are in motion and some are just sitting there.

Cropping some of the ground would help to give more attention to the birds. If you remove about half of the ground. You would frame the birds better.

I like the idea and it's bang on for the challenge. I don't like the dark muted colors. Not enough contrast to give it any interest. Also the lower right is an unimportant aspect to the shot. Perhaps a tighter crop. [?]

I really like how the slow shutter speed has captured the birds motion and blurred their wings slightly. Combined with the duotone coloring of the image, it really adds a sense of "feeling" to this image. The bales of hay are a great setting... I can almost hear the birds "cawing"...
