It seems that there's a "flow" of energy, in a semi-circular direction, from left (going back) to right (at the back) and back to the front (at the right). I hope I'm articulating this so others can understand, but it's a palpable feeling I get from this photo, and it's very cool. There's an ethereal quality to this, likely due to the bright background and the lightish ground. Everyone seems almost weightless, about to take off. Love the birds. I think this one would look great in a print; I get the feeling that we're losing a lot in the translation to the internet. Amazing photo! cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
