What an amazing shot, Paolo! I had no idea that they gather so closely together.

QUOTED IMAGE

That's very nice and interesting.
The different poses and beak angles.
Lot to absorb

Thanks, avondale87.

I like to watch them. They have personality.

Asian Glossy Starling (Aplonis panayensis) (external link) by Paolo Dolina (external link), on Flickr

Fierce-looking, large songbird with a thick, decurved bill. Adult dark with greenish gloss in good light. Juvenile dark gray-brown above with a heavily streaked white belly. Most have ruby-red eyes, but birds in the central and southern Nicobar Islands have pale irises. Prefers urban and suburban areas; a common sight in cities, towns, parks, and farmland areas. Frequently seen perching on telephone wires, fence posts, and buildings, often in very large, noisy flocks. Native to Southeast and South Asia; introduced to Taiwan, where fairly common.

Thank you

If I could redo this shot I would do these

- change orientation from landscape to portrait

- step closer towards 6 meters to subect to inreaase their presence in frame

- 1/200 ISO 500 f/8.0

It's fine the way it is. The existing negative space is effective. Your proposed changes to the composition would remove it. The only change I think would help is to remove the distracting wilted flower at the bottom.
