The chrome bar on the side looked different in the pictures I found

Is that a double exposure?

No, it is a single shot.

Ah, ok. It looked like one of the birds was in front of the net so I guess thatās to do with it being out of focus and semi-transparent.
Itās an intriguing shot, like thereās some kind of uncertain connection between the flock and the ripping of the net. Or thatās just me

Amazing composition and building. I could totally see people climbing or rappelling from it in a movie or TV production.
I wonder how they mitigate fire risk in such a large grain storage facility.
Itās not just you, I also see an intriguing image. In fact I have an image without the birds and itās not the same.
In the development I tried to convey that intrigue. A broken net and a flock of flying birds.
In this image, the birds will not pass through the frame. It is not developed, but I share it to show that without the birds, the meaning is not the same.

Thatās a powerful demonstration. I suppose we try to make meaning from an image. In the second, itās obviously a broken basketball net and thatās it. Job done. The first is ambiguous and for some reason in this particular image itās not just āhereās two random things in the worldā, even though we kinda know thatās exactly what it is. In that way, it feels a bit like one of those optical illusions (rabbit or duck). We know itās one thing but we canāt help see it as something else at the same time. Iām not sure what it is about the elements here that does that. Maybe that the hoop is up in the air and so are the birds and itās possible to imagine the birds sitting on the hoop or even tearing the net. Or that itās just trying to figure out why these have been put together in one image. Maybe the scale as well. The birds are so tiny but in focus so in a sense theyāre the subject, while the net is soft and so secondary, implying the birds were here with us and the net and now weāre watching them fly away. I donāt know

Thank you very much for your text. I donāt know how to explain it better.
I can only add a bit of context and my feelings.
During a walk with the camera I decide to take a photo of that basket, but when I turn around, I see a flock of birds coming towards my position.
I positioned myself with the same framing as the previous photo, hoping that some of those birds will pass through that frame.
When some of those birds passed through the frame, they were captured, while others were not captured, because they escaped from the net.
My folliesā¦

I like the small DOF on your picture 
40 fps is really impressive.

The lakes reflection caught my eye yesterday and I found this wreckage after a short walk down the beach. Iāve been struggling a bit lately with photography as Iām trying to change how I composeā¦ But this little walk yesterday reaffirmed that I donāt need to reinvent how I shoot, I just need to let things happen and try not to force something.
