I like this picture, I like the color of the birds, and they all seem pretty sharp to me. Good job!

I don't know, "I never saw Star Wars". ;)

Ran out of time for this challenge. It's true that I don't usually have time or the studio equipment for set up shots. But, I participate in nearly every challenge with good faith efforts. However, the voting trends (not because of you) are so negative, I may have to stop soon... like so many others have.
