    Striking.

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

    Now, that’s a lot of birds! :) Well taken.

    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!
