The treatment (newpapers-like) makes it even stronger, brings something like document of war don't know why but I see a squadron and i can hear their engine ! And then the war image vanishes and come birds of Hope ~ love that story*

Excellent that broken aspect of the sky, as if an engraving or a very old photographic negative was. Excellent the black and white one. Sen sación of freedom.
Greetings

Amazing photo in every aspect...The texture is exceptional with these beautiful dark clouds and the silhouettes of the birds...Great!
14 May 2009 9:16am
Love the textured background (a departure from reality).
14 May 2009 11:06am
I like the grainy background to this one, it works well with the strong contrasts.
14 May 2009 11:49am
There is something frenetic about this shot that makes you want to peek to find the cause of the disturbance. Well seen and captured! ;-)
14 May 2009 11:49am
Disturbing atmosphere and nevertheless, it is certainly only about a migration.
The photography has all the powers.
14 May 2009 12:37pm
this is a remarkable photograph! great moment and great choice of using b&w with lots of noise!
14 May 2009 12:40pm
what atmosphere, I'm afraid we are in the word of Alfred Hitchcock.. birds attack.... great shot.
14 May 2009 1:24pm
great tones. Reminds about me that movie with the killing birds. Nice creepy moods.
14 May 2009 1:27pm
Another great black and white, very nice composition too, the result is really dramatic.
14 May 2009 1:44pm
a kind of ominus shot....reminds me of the Hitchcock movie The Birds.
14 May 2009 2:02pm
very intensive feeling of freedom. I love the heavy contrasts in b&w.
14 May 2009 2:35pm
i love how the light works different on different birds - depending, i guess, on their angle to the sun.
14 May 2009 3:12pm
Another visual and verbal triumph. Bravo.
14 May 2009 3:29pm
Sharon, this is just another masterpiece!!! The composition, the tone, the texture, the mood... absolutely classic!
14 May 2009 4:05pm
They somehow remind me of fighter pilot planes filling the sky. Love the words and how you've paired them with the image. A
14 May 2009 4:08pm
oh so cinematic!!! a very beautiful shot! i can imagine the flight paths of these birds should i have the ability to un-pause this still -- what a beautiful sight! soaring amongst the updrafts!! gorgeous work BC -- timeless indeed!! bravo!!
14 May 2009 7:16pm
Your post processing skills along with your literary talents are endless. Another piece of art.
14 May 2009 7:26pm
"Run for your lives!!!..." Such drama, such dynamism, such a great shot! Well done!
14 May 2009 7:41pm
Excellent tonalities for this (always) perfect b/w shot.
14 May 2009 8:03pm
Hope you have a filter on your lens, that's a lot of dumping if they ever given an order from their squad leader... :-)
14 May 2009 9:29pm
I like the background, looks still and static, this makes the birds flying more animated and with movement. Excellent!
14 May 2009 10:10pm
Wow for some reason it made me think of WW2 movies when all the planes are flying dropping bombs etc... Amazing processing!
14 May 2009 10:14pm
Wow... very cool, gives me strong association to the Hitchcock movie the birds...
14 May 2009 10:35pm
Very cool, gives me strong associations to the Hitchcock movie The birds. Nice
14 May 2009 10:36pm
Absolutely fantastic.
Only wish is to see this photo printed in large scale.
Amazing work
14 May 2009 10:50pm
Always surprises me that the birds don't seriously collide in situations like this. I like the soft documentary style you are using here.
14 May 2009 10:52pm
It almost feels ominous, BC...as though they are war planes!
15 May 2009 12:12am
Great shot, really gave me a Hitchcock feeling too..
