EJ:

Great capture, maybe a tighter composition without the OOF grass on the left corner would have been stronger.

That must have been a lot of fun!

I agree with KK's suggestion of a pano crop.

Very cool! I agree that it could be better without the grass.

Wow, now that's putting things into perspective! How tall are these birds? They look to be about crow sized. Agree with KK's pano suggestion. Great capture E.J.!

EJ,

What a great shot of these guys. My initial thought was to crop the top to a pano format. Excellent work.
