Im curious though about the setting of the shot, was it dark out and lit with a flash? also what are the lines across the *** of the birds being caused from?

Thanks Nick, this was taken from a pontoon boat with very early morning sun at my back, the lines are sun light reflected off the water.


The dark background is mangrove trees in the distance and I darkened it a little in photoshop but no flash was used.
