Many thanks to the judges at MPP Partner, the Florida First Coast Photography and Birding Festival for choosing "Coming in for a landing" as Picture of the year. I was thrilled and honored by the recognition as there were so many fantastic photos entered.

Outstanding Myrna! This formation so striking, I am especially drawn to the two who lie outside the main line of the flock. Amazing clarity and sharpness in the individual birds, and I like the subtle differences that each has. The soft blue of sky and cloud formations adds beautifully to their flight. Well captured!

Excellent capture. I agree with Jack, great DOF, color and sharpness. Very well done.

This is wonderful Myrna. It's sharp with enough DOF to have all the birds in focus and the formation and comp is perfect. Super image. Congratulations.
