[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A gaggle of Canada geese soar over the tree tops in the last light of a mid-October afternoon. They're fresh from a nearby pond-and-creek system here along the Mississippi Flyway, where thousands of fellow fowl await them.

Hi Jim ;)
great shot...nice soft colors and atmosphere...TFS
Best,
J ;)

Hello Jim,

Because there are so many birds, with their wings in different positions, as your eyes move across the shot, it really does give the illusion of flight!

The sky makes a quite fabulous backcloth!
Lovely composition all round!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Great silouet of the geese catched in a beautiful sky
Very moody. The border below gives it a good perspective

There's a really nice feel to this shot, Jim.

The silhouetted trees and birds stand out very well agaonst that sky - I may be tempted to crop to just above the birds themselves as this might give them more prominence in the overall shot. But then again the light clouds also add something. Good shot!

Hi Jim,
Perfect colours, excellent composition and presentation. A "dream" image. Well done my friend a nice contribution to the theme!
