Great photo! However, it doesn't really convey that much expectation, it seems very complete in itself.

looks to me like the Neat Image was overdone

A few bright spots on the birds. Nice composition.

very busy photo...none of the birds seem to be in focus...I don't get the feeling of an off screen expectation from this

Don't you hate it when animals only give you shots of their butts? Maybe a little more ground cropped out and sky cropped in?

Not sure where the "off screen expectation" is here. NIce shot but a little lacking in a focal point just too much going on in th etop half of the photo

I like this - very creative. I guess this was fairly opportunistic but there woudl be ways of improving here. First the birds are indistinct against their background - a lower angle would enmphasise the sense of flight. the foregoround is out of focus - given that this is where the off-screen action is (the disturbance) this might be better in focus. finally, there's a sense of chaos in the images of the birds -which is distracting. A smaller flock would have helped. Well done.

I am missing a focal point, I see a lot of wings cluttered with a brown background, which does not make a strong appealing image to me. Taken from a different angle, or concentrating on only a few birds might have been better.
