Originally posted by _wu_: I like the pic, but the first second I saw it I thought something is wrong with it. Another second I realised it was made of plenty small ones. Then you comment reveiled the truth. I like it really, only it look VERY fake. And that's for two reasons (sorry if that was your initial intention): 1. The birds do not overlay, which would be very fortunate to capture, 2. Non of the birds touches the border. Still, very impressive in terms of time spent and work envolved. Wu

This is already in the 'Photographer's Comment':

I placed the birds without them "touching" each other and without them "touching" the outline of the frame. I didn't want people to question it if this is a fake, it was supposed to be obvious.

I wasn't trying to make a real scene, If I would have done that, I think this could have looked just like one another picture taken up to the skies of Arctic Terns and wouldn't be half as interesting. It took me a lot of time to decide the positions of the birds to make an interesting 'flood' through the image and something that would not distract the eye. I had this enlarged to 50" wide for the exhibition and in that size it has much more impact than a smaller size or some screen size.

Many thanks for your comment wu.
