Post challenge: Thanks for the great comments. Huge flock of what I think are starlings have been hanging around. They are not easy to shoot though, have to be the right distance away, and there is a lot of clutter here so hard to get a good background.

agreed. WAY underrated. I've often seen large flocks of birds in the evening and wondered how I would get a nice shot of them.
Starlings used to be my favorite in Canada, but I've seen some pretty impressive other birds around here too. Tough to light egrets evenly though because they don't fly so close...
This is excellent technically, but I like how - without a definitive subject - the picture has its own personality with the gradient of the sky and just the sheer complexity of shapes.
Certainly a photo in a class of its own... Ok, maybe 'photo without a subject'... :)
WOW!!!!! This is so unique and striking!!! Your composition is so perfect with the tip of the tree in the corner. I agree with Hotpasta, this is way wayyyyy underrated!!!!
