Just came back from vacation.. Writing this a little late here.
When capturing this I was just lucky.. I was walking a few miles towards the levy in hopes of finding something interesting, and I saw this crow flying around.. I stopped for a few minutes just watching it swinging on a branch, the wind was very tough then, but he was just sitting there swinging back and forth..
Then he flew down to the street where 2 of his buddies were jumping around...
I was snapping along just ready for anything, thats when one of them picked up this bag laying on the street. This guy flew up with it, mocking the others.. It was nothing short of amazing.. Everything happened very fast, I was hoping that some of them would turn out ok, since I was trying this fast action hand held set at 300mm. There were more details in the shadows, I think I could have done a better editing.. But I am learning like everyone else :)
Just happy to share this with yall.. It was very cool to witness this.

Wow! Great action shot. I wonder if they know its empty. Composition well done. Black birds are harder to shoot than white one - black any animal for that matter. You did a pretty good job here. Good luck in the challenge!
Fun capture that creates a really strong composition within the frame. Love teh way that the focal point is the colourful object and yet I am still drawn to the birds. Would love a touch more detail in the shadows but can appreciate the image well without. 7
I don't believe this. That is nothing short of amazing....what a capture! I look forward to learning a little background on how the heck you caught this when you ribbon.
I'm not fond of the high contrast of the birds wings or the soft focus. I find it to be a very distracting. I also find that the photo has a over edited look to it. Good luck in this challenge.
