[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This photo was taken in early morning near the town of Lahti( a place named Messila i think ) in South central Finland just before 8 am while the place was engulfed by fog the sun attempting to pierce through the quite thick layer .I walked along a wharf until i had an interesting pov , birds were resting on poles and/or wherever suited them but at the very moment someone in one of the boats started up his motor(going fishing... of course ! )it caused the birds to take off in every which way they could! I captured these while they were airborne a bit disoriented and panic-stricken ,long minutes later they were all back and resting in relative quietness (to them...) on their usual perch !

Bonjour Carol,
Il y a un petit côté surnaturel avec cette réflection et ce léger brouillard. La luminosité créée une ambiance bien particulière.
Bonne journée

Fantastic shot.

That's great Carol, the reflections are really beautiful, you have stopped the birds in flight with that shutter speed, I also like the tones of the early morning light.

Thanks

Bonjour Carol,
Un remake des "oiseaux" ... La brume rend l'ambiance bien mystérieuse. Bravo !
Bonne journée.

hi, great shot! nice mood, i like the contrast between the uniform misty bg and the irregular pattern of the birds, great reflections too,

Hi Carol
Wonderful capture.
Just amazing!!
Congrats

Collective taking off, another possible title for your charming picture, simple and majestic at the same time.
I read some people thaught about Hitchock movie, but I disagree: I find here we have a lot of calm and truthfulness in the movement of birds, while in the movie there was painful and sick mood.
Anyway, the shot is very well taken: according to the notes, don't know if and how much PP you did.
Yes or not, colors and atmosphere are pretty fantastic!

hi Carol

Amazing misty yet shiny air around this scene, to give the birds a good contrast and outline. Great reflections.

Superb work.

The light here is very special Carol, exactly the way I remember Finland...
This image is of course very special because of the reflecting birds in the mirror-like water...
Very good work indeed!

Cheers,
Anneke

Hi carol

Beautifull picture, really a dream.
TFS

groet Marco

Hi Carol,
Wonderful picture. The composition is perfect and the colors are so beautiful !
Have a nice day, Michel

Wow Carol! Talk about birds! Perhaps this is where Alfred Hitchcock came up with the idea for the movie "The Birds".

I like the lighting, the flock of birds, and the all around composition. It's amazing how you captured them in one area together, leaving room for the sky at the top. Neat!

tfs, LIsa

Lisa

Really wonderful and I bet you was pleased too when it happened--well caught and well presented---tfs---Lynne

Hi Carol,
Wow! What a shot! It is simply beautiful. I'm a fan of mist photos (among other things) and this one is excellent. I love the mysterious quality of mist and it is emphasised by the excellent perspective with the lines of posts, gradually disappearing into nothingness. The clarity and stillness of the water is amazing. Looking at this I can imagine the sounds of the riotous birds, the creaking boats and the water lapping against them. It is a perfect composition, very well done!
