I contemplated keeping this for Alfred Hitchcock, but I wasn't really happy with it.

Like an orchestra with a conductor.

I enjoy all the little details to study like the two birds in the distance.

very effective rendering of aerial space, by clouds and lines and aeratic(sic) creatures. anything could happen.

Well, my first thought was Alfred Hitchcock so it would have garnished a decent vote from me - guess we'll never know how it would have faired?

Birds are irresistible photographer magnets. I think it's because they are mostly anonymous, whereas mammals seem to have an individual identity. So that makes something mysterious about birds. And when they are joined together as a single organism, something rather unsettling too. Hitchcock knew that a flock of malevolent black birds was way more scary than a herd of grumpy elephants. Thank you.

I really like the asymmetry, and the lone bird at the top is a lovely touch.

My favorite is the one all by itself on the top wire - wanting to be included . . . or happy to be out :)

I like the way your lines divide the frame. Handsome light. The silhouettes of the birds against the ominous sky are, well, ominous. The birds on the crosspiece of the pole in the lower right is a nice touch. I tried for a bunch of birds in a tree this morning but they took obvious delight in yanking my chain.

ohh I like that very much! Very nice composition with that diagonal line. And very dramatic clouds.
