Photo: landscape shot of a blackbird murmuration flying over a flat, barren field in winter; the sky is clear with the pink and violet hues of sunset. A bare tree stands in the middle distance on the right. A few clumps of trees are barely visible in the far distance, lining the horizon.

Nothing quite compares to witnessing a murmuration, especially when you’ve remembered your camera 😉 #blueskyartshow #horizontal #murmuration #eck #fineartphotography #smallbirdsaturday #4and20 #blackbirds #movement #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #treeandmood #wintertrees #photographingmood

Photo: A black-and-white, ICM shot of a huge flock of blackbirds flying low to the ground, crossing a stream. The air appears thick with birds and water spray. This scene appears in front of a line of bare trees marking the edge of a wooded area. The entire scene is shot at close-to-medium range to highlight the intensity of the flock’s movement; only the trunks of the closest background trees are visible.

Photo: Two birds are photographed in flight, both shown from the back showing full wingspan. Wings are backlit from the sun, shining brilliantly against a black background. Reeds and grasses appear in the foreground, sparkling in the sun. A distant tree is out of focus, to the right side in the background.

Photo: A tree line showing the upper portions of bare trees in winter, against a grey sky/background, edited to contain textural effects. A lone crow flies across the trees and upward, away from the viewer.
