Date Uploaded: Mar 13, 2004

 Taken in Spokane, Washington on my choir trip. We went to a park and me and a friend saw tons of birds just sitting around, well, we saw it our duty to chase them. I just so happened to have the camera with me and stumbled upon this wonderful shot.
Post-Processing (By far my most, integrity kept in highest regards):
1. Cropped
2. There was a lampost in the middle of the tower covering the: bridge, willow tree, and tower. Now it's completely cloned out!
3. Added two Seagulls (Clone tool) to the left to add more balance to the shot (The right was a little heavy)
4. Blued up the Sky
5. Unsharp Mask
6. Resize

This is a great shot. I like how you captured the motion of the birds. The only critique I have is to try placing the tower in a different position other than the center.

A little late for commenting but i love this shot and i'm really impressed you managed a shot like this with a point-n-shoot :D ... real talent you got there buddy! Btw, did you manage to buy a F717 yet? :D

This looks very oversharpened to me on an otherwise nice shot.

Not sure what the focal point is here--birds? clock tower?

Without the bgirds, this would just be a humdrum shot, the birds add so much.

Pretty, but for some reason the birds are distracting.

I think if the tower would have been offset to the right this picture would have been much more powerful.
