1. Crop out that bury triangle at the bottom
2. Clone out the power wires
3. Restore some white in the clouds

Sorry for being so breif I had to write those down as fast as i could it's so easy to foget an image when your trying to criteuqe it. I think it would be great if they put the post above the reply while your typing so you could go back and look at it.

Over all I think the image is well composed and exposed. The clouds could use some more white in them. They have that shadow /highlight look to them from photoshop.

Other then that I think it's an interesting shot if you can remove the power wire and that blob at the bottom I would say you have something worth printing large and mounting

I like this shot. It makes you wonder why the birds are flying as a group. Did someone scare them or they are actually going somewhere? That part is very well done.
I do agree with Murtsana about the power lines and the smalelr roof top being cloned out.
Not so sure aboutt he clouds being whitened up tho. Possibly brighten up the pocture as a whole may help a bit.

I have never really used photoshop much, so perhaps someone could tell me what I would have to do in order to remove the powerlines. The triangle in the lower right it the apex of a roof, what would I replace it with?
