| Beautiful shot, my only slight complaint would be that the border looks a little too complex especially with the extra 1pixel wide border added by DPC, but that̢۪s just nit-picking. Fantastic use of duo-tone and the grain really suits the picture. 10. Good luck, tom. |

| I like this. The gloominess and the grain give it a great atmosphere. My only complaint would be the 'layout' of the birds - if you could have arranged them differently you would have a much stronger shot (and yes, I know that what I'm suggesting is impossible!) : ) Great shot. |

| Unusual take on challenge - like this. They almost look like bats with their positions. Sky is noisy but it kind of adds to the vibe. (Omen II is the best - and I met Damien's actor once!) |

| Nice composition. Looks a little oversharpened - not too keen on the bright outlines of some parts. I like the colourisation, nice editing. Good luck. |

| Great use of silhouettes. Although some may not like it, I think the graininess adds to this shot. The building (although it may not be) looks like it could be a prision or something and the sky adds a certain gloominess to the picture. |

| I like the grittiness in the sky. Shame the building's there, though. |

| With this title, the darkness and grain work very well. That said, I'm not really a fan of grain...(sorry, my bad). The birds show flight well, so challenge met, but I really like some detail. (Not for DPC) - Spot edit the building into full silhouette, seems like a good idea. 7 Rob the Swash |

| Really grainy... try using NeatImage on this one. Also I would have cropped out the right side to get rid of the building edge. It's kind of distracting. I like the pure black building. |

| Wow spooky! This kind of reminds me of "Hitchcock's" The Birds. The graininess works well here, and that's coming from someone who is not a big fan of grain. |

I guess this one works. The dark skies with the silhouette of the birds and the darken building gives a feeling of "omen". As a flight entry it gives some sense of it. The building unforturnately dominates about 1/3 of the picture and keeps the picture bottom heavy. Keeps your eyes on the bottom of the shot.
The contrast of the sky really helps to make the birds pop out of the picture
I think cropping about 1/2 the picture and only include the birds would help with the theme more. The current picture is really good, but I can't help but focus on the building. |

| The building is a distraction - because of the tilt. |

| Mystery, spooks and bad weather! Lethal combo. Some grain/noise but that is over looked by me. The right sided crop is a bit too tight......however the flight of the birds is very nice. |

| Nice mood on your pic. My eye is drawn more towards the building than the birds... maybe cropping a chuck out would help focus back on the birds. :-) 6 |

| Very dramatic. I like the imagery this brings forth. I'm not usually fond of darker photographs but this one works very well! I like it because the birds are completely in silhouette as is the building. Great job! |

| Very "Hitchcockian" (if that is a word). I have a slight issue with the right edge of the builing on this one. The bright wedge of light really draws my eye. It might be worth the loss of the to right birds to crop. |
