Such a simple idea - to take multiple interesting frames and stack them to form a pattern. Your fine white line separation line is sufficient to be honest, yet non-intrusive enough to present the stacked photo as a single composition. The photo could be sharper. Fritz

Great image! You have an artist's eye for unusual shots, and these two have been twinned perfectly. I particularly love the way the birds form two intersecting triangles - one upright and composed of those with more static gestures and the other one upside-down of the birds stretching their wings. This joins the two images in an understated but very effective way. And the birds' gestures are wonderful, of course :) It's a great example of the fact that a single focal point isn't always needed.

I agree with the earlier observation that it has a Magrittesque quality.

It's not 'technically flawless' but it gets 2TU for that reason alone. On every other count it's a 3.

Somehow it reminded me of magritte's painting, great colors and sharpness, as well as composition. too bad the line is croocked but other than that the shot is great. keep up the good work regards.

Interesting composition, Afshin. I like it! Good job with the equally spaced horizontal divisions... Detail on the birds isn't spectacular, but the pattern and graphic quality of the shot makes up for it. Maybe a bit more room on the sides would be good. Regards, ~Jon
