    I love the pallet of colors you have here and how they change from the front/middle/back ground. However, the current composition does not grab me (It IS nice though). I think the crop may be too tight on the gaggle. If this is a crop, you may try opening it up and have it be more of a landscape (with some geese).

    Cheers,

    Thank you Tim. I'll have to take a look at the original and see how it works.

    John,

    Simply put: I love it. The color range, the subject, and a strong composition!

    Well done,

    Jared

    I just looked at the original.....there was a white sign that obscured some of the shot, hence the crop (I'd forgotten about that).

    You know... as I look at this more, I bet that is quite striking when properly enlarged. My hat's off to you for this nice capture.
