Looks like a cool sight here Ross. Wish they were sharper as many are OOF and it could be strengthened by cropping some off the right and bottom to focus on the birds with the undersides lit up. Remember to post the long side at 650 pixels, this one's 800.

I see one pintail! The rest are mallards I think. I agree with Mike that this could be sharper. I can see a potential crop, and it would be interesting to play with. What I'd really like to see is not quite so many birds cut off though. Cool shot!

I have a lot of failures shooting group flight myself. Getting it right is not easy at all ...
Just keep trying, Ross!

I'm with mike - strongest part of the flock is up and left of center.
