Love the scattered Ibises bringing some variety to the flock. Really like this image. Lacking detail in some birds compared to others but that doesn't bother me. It's the shapes that matter here, and a perspective that makes me feel I am flying with them.

Comment by streetpigeon:
This is really cool, a sterling take on the usual shaking off dog picture. The droplets spiral off this bird (tern?) in proof of aerodynamic mastery. Catching amimals living their lives is so much more rewarding than mere illustration, not that there can't be wonder in that, too. But it's the individuality that comes out, the kinship of us all. You allow us to imagine, to feel what it is to soar along, lifted by air and propulsion, performing everyday miracles. The darker portion of the background nicely sets off the brightnbess of the bird.
Thank you.
