I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: Lovely stuff this - makes me want to watch a slow motion video of this with very loud classical music. The balance between clarity and blurry dynamism is excellent.The detail on the feathers of the left bird is astonishing.

Critical stuff: Nothing.

Overall: Very nice indeed.

It’s a rare treat for me to be able to comment with enthusiasm on an image that is surely going to finish in the ribbons. I’m usually scrounging about down at the other end.

It’s perfect of course, and the titular reference is also perfect. Nothing more to say really, except thank you. It’s my second-to-top pick.

Very cool shot. Love the flutter of motion contrasted against the rigid framing of the lines. Nice one.
