Jackdaws

During the spring and summer Jackdaws live in this tree at the bottom of our garden. Last night I sat and watched them all flying about. It wasn't the prettiest sky last night, grey and cloudy.

I like this one too, the overexposure makes the silhouettes of the branches and birds come out!

[Graeme Stevens]

Great shout, love the silhouette

[Kim]

Love this, it has quite a sinister, expectant feel to it

[Diane]

Nice shot, like the silhouettes!

[Sam]

Brilliant! It's a bit spooky - got a lot of emotion about it :)

[Sean O'Neill]

It is a great shot. A great example of how to work with the light available. Very stark, very good!

[Sarah]

I love how the black and white in this makes the birds really stand out. Great choice!

I have a photo almost exactly like that, only with crows! So, I have to compliment it! I do like the start relief.

[Nicole]

I love this composition. Simple, but full of interest!

[Lisa Targowska]

Fav! Love the simplicty of this shot, perfect.

[Judith Johnson]

A lovely shot - in monochrome?

[Newbank Lass]

@busylady No I pushed up the exposure in ps to get it looking like this not actually turned into b and w.

[Cazla]

Lovely silhouette, I like how you have concentrated on the top of the tree

[Stephanie Swift]

Beautiful silhouettes of both tree and jackdaws!

[Craig B]

Like this a lot. The stark b&w works really well.

[Leah]

Nice capture of the Jackdaws settling in for the night. Nice silhouettes!!!

[Taffy]

Great choice of b&w processing -- it makes for a wonderful silhouette.
