DP3M and a shedload of Nik stuff to scare the Bejesus out of you

Love it Rob
There's something about to happen. Even the tree seems to be dancing and complaining in unison with them there birds. Doom and gloom always cheers me up.

The birds were going crazy, screeching at the top of their voices in a neighbouring tree. I was just getting the camera out of my pocket. Suddenly they went dead silent, then launched themselves into the air, and flew over to this tree. I just caught them in time. Then they started screeching again. What a racket. They scared me, but I'm easily scared.

By observation I have noticed that birds often kick up a ruckus when a bigger bird is perched in their neighborhood. I see it all the time here with hawks getting swooped and dive-bombed by smaller birds until they finally get tired of the torment. I suppose that's what was happening in this image. I like that tree. It is very menacing.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

That could have been the case, Brian, despite my not seeing a bigger bird. Quite likely, in fact.

Love the look and feel of this one Rob. The darkness works.
Always remember...keep mouth closed when looking up at a flock of birds!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Sage advice, Glenn!

Wonderfully ominous stuff Rob.

Interesting event too. I wonder… No ignore me. Of course it can have nothing to do with that mask appearing in your house, the one you cannot see! Silly of me to think it even. No, no. just ignore me. Can't be anything. I mean, The Omen and The Birds were just films. How daft can you be. No, all is fine. Just fine. Really.

Lol Hitchcock did cross my mind, I have to admit!

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

Great catch and I wonder Brian, could the photographer be mistaken as a larger b.......

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Yes, I could have been Big Bird, all the way from Sesami Street
