Great shot for swarm. This could be a poster for the film the Birds. Here is my special: http://travelwithintent.com/2014/11/20/we-live-in-financial-times-madrid/

Nice swarm photo Paula. A different kind of swarm than my photo from the big city! (but in big cities, they have their own perceptions of the term swarm). http://artishorseshit.wordpress.com/2014/11/20/the-big-city/
I really like the tones in your photo.

Thanks a lot. I wrote on Commons platform what I think of today’s theme. Yours was the only entry I could see, other links don’t work for me from work. Despite the fact that I was equipped for the swarm, I had to say there what I think of this theme for today.

Seen it, thanks. Those are nice saves, and it must sound odd that I am the one to object cause my post is within the theme, but I need to point out when I see something I do not find right. I said it all there and will not repeat myself. Language/words are my domain and I have a say. I bet that Miss Cheri will not reply!

😆 they want people to suck.up to them. I’ll copy now for you the comment I.left them on Commons today about swarm. Here: ” Before I address anybody in my critique about the choice of today’s theme (though it seems that the participants are OK with it) I would like to know who stands behind it Cheri or Michelle. I have a limited access to this platform at the moment. The shot of bikers is a lucky find and it works well for swarm. However, when proposing a theme for the challenge one must think outside their own shots and take others into consideration. You want beginner photographers (photo 101!!!) encouraged, not frustrated. Also I hope that when you set a theme you would like people to give something that should fit the theme. You also said a group of inanimate objects is fine too (but they have to suggest swarm) – why don’t make everybody’s life easier and more fair and call it multitude????”
Well said Paula and it’s a good thing then that I never registered. I don’t suck up to anyone and well, most know it. I am honest but they won’t like my honesty. 😆
So, you ever got an answer back?

Oh my. That doesn’t sound at all like fun for you, especially if you’re feeling the way you do hon. Things like that is just not worth it and they’re not worth that you upset yourself over their stupidity and self-importance. You are way better than they are and so is your stunning photography. ♥

hahahahah! I know what you mean and I learned that lesson very well too. That’s when I decided that I’ll make photography fun and not a competition. I don’t ask anyone for an opinion and don’t want any because it is what I enjoy. It’s a hobby and there are lots of websites on the internet where you can learn without having to suck up to anyone or being critisized. This is one of the best of the lot: http://digital-photography-school.com/
