Photographer's Note
Fifth day. After creating on previous days the immense elements (light, sky, waters, land, sun), God said "let birds fly across the expanse of the sky".
He also created fish that day. That's all for the fifth day. A not so busy day for the Creator.
I leave these birds as little dots in the whole scene, rather than trying to zoom in. I chose this shot because one group of birds is directly within a faint sunbeam that comes from the hole in the sky, and in the other group they form a straight dotted line. In each group there are 9-10 birds.
The location is Apollonia beach, about 20 km north of Tel Aviv.

Hi Daniel,
beautiful capture of the light coming from this hole in the sky - a sort of religious image - with the birds as good remarkable details.
Thanks and regards, Gerrit

Hi Daniel,
A nice scenery with the beach, the sea, the cloudy sky and the birds, the light is giving a special effect to the photo. It has a good composition.

Hi Daniel,
Great shot, and very interesting note.
This is an very impressive cloudy sky, with the holes by where the light of the sun enters, and the set of birds that give an extra him of very pleasant life. A good lighting and amazing colors in your picture.
Regards,
Josep

The two flights of birds on the lighted sea are really good and provide some life in that rather hostile environment. A very good catch again, Daniel.
All the best,
Emmanuel

Hi Daniel,
another great shot of a dramatic sky.
I like the greyscale tones you captured here.
The rays of light penetrating the clouds and the reflections on the water are superb.

Hi Daniel,
I think that this one is my favorite of the series.
The almost monochrome characteristic gives the image an additional strength. The composition is very good too.
Best regards,

daniel,
great composition with the light shining on the birds through the clouds. good color. lights from the sky and the reflection on the water accentuates the colors in this frame very well.

Hi Daniel,
Like Carlos, I like this one best of the series with the two groups of birds captured in the path of light gleaming through the clouds and reflecting in the dark sea. Your choice of framing is impeccable.

Skies seem to be a popular theme at the moment. This one is marvellous. I very much like the darkness it has created with the blast of light as the sun fights to penetrate the clouds.
Nice work
Best wishes
