Birds in flight

This image really stood out from all of the other entries in this contest. The dark tones of the background really helps to make the swans stand out and the beautifully blurred wings helps to convey the movement of the creatures.

This bright and wintery capture really stood out. Like the first place expert winner, this is a unique take on the birds in flight theme that we really love. The movement is blurred, but is still noticeable and the swan's head is wonderfully sharp.
