Hey Deb, This looks like a painting that should be hanging on a wall. This is a really nice shot. Rarely do you see a shot that is completely out of focus that turns out so nice. I think that the birds are more in-focus than the rest of the picture and it makes it look sharper than it really is. Could you please write a tutorial on how to have these kinds of accidents?

I didn't leave a comment, just a very high score. Didn't really know what to say except that it is spectacular.
