A Song in the Air

Sandy, what a cool shot, I love the way you have created the musical notes in the air through camera movement and the fact that they are dancing above the heads of the people just adds to the sense of wonderment and fairytale

The way you have still retained the colours of the umbrellas is cool and adds even more verve to the shot

Let me tell you that score isnt too bad at all (well not for us mere mortals anyway) but I do think its great that this is a photo that you love and that voters opinions do not matter a jot

Beautiful detail, admirable close focus, I enjoy the prominent interaction of the angle planes between wings & foliage. I like both versions. The edit has a great crop & composition. Zooms like yours are so wonderfully capable. Even though this square format works so well, for myself and only a suggestion for consideration, I might choose it below what the full frame may be or also how a proportional to camera frame format crop might look.

wonderful detail! That 70-200 f4.0 IS seems to work extremely well for you. I really like the reflection here also, which gives it an added degree of interest.
