Few things in nature beat watching a flock (or three) of starlings dissolve and combine. Great capture.

Awesome shot. When I was visiting Zion, I saw a huge flock of starlings for the first time, coming towards me from the distance. It was beautiful and disturbing... I don't expect to see such mathematical shapes from organic things like that.
