Obviously a great frame filled with birds, the glimpses of architecture are good too, esp. the typical arch back there

Hi Maciej!

That's a great capture, with an excellent timing! What a dynamic effect, with the massive crowd of pigeons in flight! The scene is complete, with the cows and the goats: very symptomatic of the indian daily life reality. Bravo.

Yes Maciej,
Alfred would have been proud :)
Nice dramatic shot, the brown goat in the FG also appears very concerned. Sharp clean shot.
Well done.
Regards,
Graham.

Its one of those fresh works that linger on for long. I really like the wide angle view here and of course the highlight of the shot- birds!!! Not to miss, that this shot couldn't have been this amazing without the clear and crowded BG.

Super shot!!!

hello Maciej,
lol, a Hitchcock moment indeed, and I like a lot how the wide angle distortion adds to the surreal feeling of the shot. the only minor adjustment I'd make is to clone the goat in the bottom center part, it's a little distracting. I realise that for a shot like this the timing was more important than makeing sure there are no unwanted things in the frame, but that's why we have clone tool in photoshop :) not a major point though, I like the shot as it is.

best,
Kristine
