 I saw something, took a pic of it, and it turned out better than I expected. And I like it. Can't ask for more than that.

I like the two on the ground on the right who are just kind of blankly staring at me.

A friend told me that I should compose my pic while shooting, and that I should not have to do a lot of cropping. So I have been working towards that and this is one that worked.

This is part of a feeding frenzy along the shores of Lake Erie. Enjoy!

Nicely composed. I'm impressed that you were able to do this without cropping. It is so hard to compose a shot when the subjects are in constant motion. It's fun looking at this picture because there is something different going on with each bird. They are such individuals. And I like the overall flow and layers of the images.

Michelle, I loved this. Taking a photo of a flock of birds is difficult because of the lack of a specific subject. However, I thought this was done really well and scored it a 7.
