this may not appeal to many voters .. but i'd love to be wrong ..
it actually took me a little while to appreciate it fully ..
i'm loving the abstract quality ..
a lot of what i love about this i cant put into words .
probably lucky you . would only subtract ..

this didnt grab me on first glance .. and that glance was less than a second btw .. .. then as i looked closer it totally did grab me ..
its a very beautiful image .. the dance of the birds .. so good ..
and the sky .. loving those clouds at the bottom of the image ..
perfection . :)

FANTASTIC catch .. !!! ..
i'm almost there .. just missing the wind in my face .. and the swooshing sound made by those wings ..
that's just an assumption btw .. i'm not sure they actually swoosh .. ;)

OMG Erin .. i feel very humbled that you would ask me that ... as i'm such a great fan of your work .. and you are one of my favourite photogs ..
and when you got that photo of the eagle that had been hanging out in your back yard .. that took my opinion of your photography to a whole other level .. like is there anything this girl cant do .. ?? ..
but i'll answer your question .. get yourself a macro lens .. going by your talent and expertise it will take you very little time to answer that question for yourself .. xx ..

this is an incredible image ..
my heart literally lurched when it opened ..

I don't want to make this seem less than it is with words about the way this is presented ..

so I'll leave it at that ..

I haven't actually seen any of your competition yet .. but I can't imagine anything would come close in this challenge ..

many congratulations on the blue in advance.. and something that I'll never forget .. :)

fav .. obviously .. :)
