Marcus Way said (25 Mar 2008):
Wow again! This is a lovely shot the spiraling flocks look like an illustration from a Dr. Seuss book, some sort of half duck half tornado creature. The background colours would have made a beautiful enough picture alone; and then the birds take it to another, almost ethereal, level. Nice.
