This needs more than a two second view to be appreciated - that number of birds flocking together must be one heck of a sight in real life, and is petty impressive in a photo - but coupled with the backdrop, Wow!
It's graphically very pleasing, this shot. All those lovely horizontal layers. So even if you view it from too far away to be sure what it is, it still looks interesting.
