Great concept, well executed.

Though, I find the path rail in the bottom of the frame to be a little confusing (busy foreground as a problem scenario).

Great pict ! nice composition

This is a super shot, but tilted by 3°. I suggest you repost it with this change. It's really worth while but quite disturbing as it is. If you allow the workshop option, I will post one for you.

This is truly a wonderful shot! I love the composition, but it's not flawless. First of, it's extremely dark, maybe you could try to brighten it a bit. Also, I would like you crop 1/5 to the right, it's just not that much happening on that side. I absolutely adore the shot in general though...

Hitchcock would love it & I love it too! ;-)
Very well done...

But Jean-Michel is absolutely right about a needed rotation.

Love this shot...would maybe straighten it out a bit, but thats about it.

Very good shot and I agree that cropping it on the right and on the bottom would have striked out the birds even more!!

that's an excellent shot daniel, I also agree on cropping the right side which il less interesting than the left part and lowers the tension inside your image (note that I think it would have worked if the photo was reversed symetrically, it's a reading way issue... )
I am not bothered with what some call tilt issues, for me it's a diagonal line leading to the shiny sun in some kind of abstract.

Hitchcock came to mind immediately, before I read Viviane's comment. Great light! Tilt :-(

Superbe. Le contre jour est très bien rendu ... même avec un filtre c'est un travail de grande qualité. Bravo.

(je regrette seulement que vous n'ayez pas donné plus d'infos techniques).

Great shot, the motion is perfectly captured, we feel the birds flying all over.
