Greetings from the Critique Club };-)
Initial thoughts
Good composition, meets the challenge, color could be a bit more intense
Composition/ Content
I think that the folks that voted this shot low must have never tried photographing moving birds. It is incredibly tough and I think you did a great job. I really like the way you cropped and composed this. The birds seem to be pointing South as well as flying there. I hadn't noticed the bird outline until I read your note. I even like the border. It appears that you caught them in a late afternoon sun as well which warms the bodies of some of the birds.
Background
Gee, couldn't you have moved a nice puffy white cloud in there or something? Just kidding, the background is great.
Camera Work - Technical
Focus seems good and contrast is excellent. It would be nice to be a bit closer but we are probably at the lense limitations.
Digital Processing - Technical
I noticed that you are only at about 100kb. I wonder if a bit closer to the allowed 150kb would have made this even crisper. The only other thing is I would like to see this with a touch more blue in the background. Did you try playing with the hue?
Fits The Challenge
Definitely fits the challenge well.
My Opinion On The Photo I originally scored this shot an aeight. I think it should have finished even higher than it did. Like I said, you've got to try shooting these things before you can really appreciat the shot. Good job, and keep up the good work.
I would be happy to talk further about this shot if you would like to contact me.

| Very clear shot, the birds seem to be very far away. Yet there is still detail under the wings and in the head area. Shot with a low sun? The frame enhances the image, not bad at all. |
