A fleeting moment for this flock of Marsh Sandpiper ... The shot was taken last Monday at Deep Bay in the north western part of Hong Kong. It was a bright but overcast day ... :roll:

KK, love the stamped of birds, most are pretty sharp focus fading towards the BG, very nice, a touch more saturation for my taste, very nice!! Congrats!!!

Very nice. Personally in a photo like this I like an even tighter crop - if you have truncated bodies on one side do it on all ?

Good capture of Sandpipers acting like Sandpipers. I like the monochromatic feel to this image. I like the image as cropped, but, given the monochrome nature of it, a really severe crop like Andrew suggested could give a very "artistic" / graphic feel. Would be quite different anyway.
I like how you have all stages of lift-off here.
