All comments are welcome.

wow. Couldn't be done better (maybe a bit more movement in the birds wings, that's all)

Very nice, although the slanted horizon on the right bothers me a little.

Bravo, a wonderful capture!

Excellent scene and colors and all!

AMAZING MOMENT

I love this photo. These types of opportunities do not present often. Great Job.

Awesome picture! it does need a rotation of 2 degrees, but its just fantastic! what a site it must have been and deafeningly noisy? 7/7!!

Composition is higly strong... very nice wide angle work... 7/7

Realy good :). What a picture!

this is an awesome shot. if i'm not mistaken, you posted a very similar shot some time ago (although i do not see it in your current portfolio). it's a sure sign of a great shot when it's instantly recognizable! i liked your first shot, as it had a little more "punch"/contrast (at least i remember it that way), but this one is very cool as well. the arrangement of the foreground bird, middleground birds and background birds is just awesome. it's as if they posed in mid air for you. great work. 7/7

This is a great shot but am also distracted by that horizon, Love your Bee Eater shots as well, would be nice to see some info about equipment used.

absolutely beautiful. is a larger version available anywhere online or is a print available? thanks for sharing it!

Thanks for all comments;You are right,I have to change the horizon or make a rotation.

Charlie,of course I have prints available(email me if you wish)

This is such an intersting shot. With so many bird shots in photo.net, this one will still stand out.

I cannot comprehend the mentality of some people on this forum. Who would give this wonderful picture a low rating? If you don't like it please give a reason, rather than an rating which cannot be identified. These people simply trash good photography and should be banned from the site. Or do they simply give a low rating to bring the average down! Protecting their own?

 

Anyway, as you can tell, I am really angry at this practice (very prevalent), and wish the moderators could do something about it - perhaps a rating under 4 must have a reason stated for such a rating, before it is registered. This might make a few more people accountable.

 

Also as you can tell, I think this is a great shot - great capture of flight, I like the composition, and the colour is superb.

 

Cheers,

Welcome to photo.net... a site with lots of people. Lots of people means lots of trouble...but we manage...I agree with the ratings problem... we have a share of a@#holes... but this is the best photo community in the world.

Gannets is wonderful. Bravo !

Perfect capture!

Wonderful shot, and good positioning on your part to have the dark sky in front of you, the the sun popping through from the side for the picture. 7/7

Great picture!
