I can see that this might make a dark thumbnail, but I like this one dark. I was playing with the light and shadows. Nikon, D300, 70-300 Vr at 220mm, ISO 200, 1/250, f8.

I think the biggest nit for me is that the image seems to need a clockwise rotation. Everything looks like it is falling off to the left.

It definitely is tilted CCW and could use a rotation, but my main critique is the lack of focus on the birds. They are given a lot of extra space there with all that darkness so they are a commanding part of the composition. Therefore, I'd like to see them better with an f/22 aperture at ISO 800 or a blend for depth of field at f/8.

Thanks Scott and Marc. Undoing the rotate is not really an option. There seems to be something inherently vertiginous here. I think I will try to hammer this into submission with the lens distortion tool in Lightroom.
