The vertical composition looks great. If the second bird from the top also had it wings out stretched it would been amazing, adding to the symmetry (not in your control though). The backlit feathers look nice. Wish the wires in the background were not present :(. Thanks for sharing.

Nice image. Slightly more space at the bottom and right may be even better. A narrow aperture, atleast f8/f9 would be better as the birds are at different distances. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,

Lovely composition having a flock of Ibis in flight with full wingspread at different elevations.
The image gives me hope for future as they are still there in village Nasigram, known for its modern agriculture and high rural surplus. The residents, I believe, are taking care of them. Thanks for sharing. SaktiWild
