I like this very much. The movement and the way it reflects the branches of the tree. Quite stunning! The 2 that remain help make the image. Great job.

Very interesting concept, one that I may use in the coming winter. I've never heard of a grackle before, googled it, now I know. Mick.

Very nice capture - lovely tones and the movement is just cream!

Thank you kindly for the comments. It's hard to make out from the scan, and even in the print, but the trails of the birds in flight show wingbeats- something I hadn't expected to capture.
All the best,
Daniel

Very nice. I have just such a tree at my place that seems to attract flocks of birds. I'll have to try this.

This photo just came up in the random list and I am reminded of how much I like it. Again... great job Daniel

Thanks, Bill. This was another instance of waiting with excited anticipation for the film to come out of the fix. It's a little bit like Christmas morning... and it's very addictive!

All the best,
Daniel
