Starlings Banking Over Glacial Stream Hubei
by Dale Phelps
Gray morning light settles heavy over a glacial stream in early summer Hubei. The water flows dark and cold beneath a dense wall of starlings. A tight banking turn renders the flock as a streaked blur of charcoal and silver against the sky. Sharp rim light cuts along the upper edges of the swirling birds, separating their motion from the dramatic clouds overhead. The low angle view places the perspective beneath the chaotic arc, looking up at the moving mass. Below, the water reflects the gray sky, while the birds' blurred forms create a solid wall of movement that obscures the distant mountain ridges. The final edge of a wingtip glows faintly against the dark cloud mass.
