 Obviously got lucky with the bird formation. The crows went crazy so I "had" to take a gazillion picture of them and I knew this was my entry the moment I clicked.

I've done something similar before and that didn't do too well so I sense this image will get a bit of a beating.

This is true minimalism. No, a single bird wouldn't have been. Should've been in the top 5.

Beautiful shot. This one is much better than a few other similar (birds) entries in the challenge.

I think a single bird would have been more minimimalistic although I love them in their various stages of flight.
