Yikes! Either that or a really bad case of sensor dust. ;-)

Nice pastel quality to the pastorale below the action.

feels surreal or unreal, particularly with none of the birds apparently below the horizon line. Unusual colour palette to the landscape too adds to the oddness.

That's an amazing flock of birds. Without the title I would have thought locusts and been disgusted. Now I can see a few distinct birds. I wish you could get more detail on birds without losing the huge quantity of them. Also a very nice Napa valley scene.

Cool! One usually is accustomed to viewing such landscapes with minimal movement and life other than foliage and trees...

That is wild. Looks like something out of "Planet Earth". Great timing.

Cool, Cool, Cool. I've always wanted to take a photo of swarms.

There appears to be some dust on your lens :)

man, this is one dirty sensor!
Seriously, what appears to be a beautiful landscape is uglified by this mass of birds. I wonder if this is real or an overlay, it seems like there are only birds in the sky and none close to the ground

Ooooh...

Bizarre. Very nice country side.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Your sensor is filthy!

What a sight that must have been. I really like the pleasant autumn colors of the farm land. The birds have a bit of a sharpening halo, but nothing too bad.
