Hi Ling Ling, you did a nice job of capturing the birds in flight. Moving birds are very hard to shoot. You might try a faster camera speed if there's enough light. There's a lot to look at in your photo, so you can try choosing one bird and lightening it to make it the center of attention (making "a place for the eye to rest"). Or you could try cropping in on just one bird that's especially in focus. I find their footprint trails especially interesting. And I'm wondering where you were standing to get this shot. It looks like you're in the water with the birds! :-)   Posted: 12/12/2025 19:29:41

A good "record" shot of a flock of birds in flight. An improvement, I think, would be to do a very slight crop so that splashes and birds aren't on the edge of the frame.   Posted: 12/18/2025 14:56:39

Hi Ling Ling, You did a good job of capturing the birds in motion. I see many photos within this photo. I would try cropping on one bird and if you can get the water patterns of where they are taking off - that makes a good photo.   Posted: 12/18/2025 17:32:35
