   Nice how the shape of the flock of birds flying in the sky matches with that of the clouds.

   Striking.

   I wonder if removing the top half and making this a panorama, might increase the power.

    Wow! Look at them all! Not only were you there at the right moment but you’ve framed this beautifully with the bird-perched fence in the foreground. It’s a wonderfully dramatic image and does indeed evoke Hitchcock.

    Great work!
