Taken before sunrise. There's a flock of crows which roost overnight on the local TV station's tower (why? no protection from the elements and there are plenty of trees around.)Every morning they take off and disperse around the time we walk our dog. They are unpredictable as to direction and they only occasionally fly over us.
Increasing contrast has increased the noise, but it looks better than smoothed out with noise reduction.

Excellent shot and without the narrative I'd not have a clue as what the image was.

Neat shot, good grain. Looks like rectangular kites. Nicely composed.

I've never seen a bird capture like this. They look like flying squirrels.

They look like micro organisms, fantastic shot! I think the noise adds to the scene.

Flying birds can take on some strange looking forms when you shoot them at low shutter speeds. The noise is curiously almost like a texture overlay. Good blur.
