A large flock of Mallards flushing due to a stalking coyote. The coyote actually jumped up and caught one out of the air! This is the hunter:

Love it, Joe! Great color, action and blur. Not to mention the wonderful story that goes with it.

I prefer pictures that stand on their own and tell me something. I like blurred images...this one tells me nothing without words. If it was less blurred I may understand what I am seeing. Pictures that require words...eh. I can't tell they are birds, it reminds me of static electricity.
More importantly, congrats on the EP.
