I was searching for sparrows this morning by my pond. I didn't notice the flock of geese in the field and all of the sudden they took off
I tried something a little different by using Adobe Photoshop oil paint after removing the distracting background.
Enjoy

Nice composition and effects, I might have been tempted to clone out the goose in the top right corner, just my preference....I like how the 3 geese have their wings down in exactly the same place and one is up...nice work

I love the sight and sound of geese overhead. The strong diagonal is very nice, but I wonder if it'd be more effective flipped horizontally. The textured background is super for this image.

janet....Another vote fro removing the goose in the URC.....I think the oil effect worked well here!

Janet, lovely composition! I like the symmetry of the overlapping geese. I think the oil paint effect makes it stand out.

Hi Janet, I like the line of geese and the background worked out well. I might be tempted to evict the top bird too. Love the wing positions.

Hi all
thanks for the comments, I made a copy of the image without the top bird. It looked kind of bland, so I left him in. Just my preference :)
thanks again for the comments.

Janet, I like the fact that the top bird breaks the symmetry but I'm bothered by his head intersecting the wing. I wonder what it would look like if you extracted him and moved him underneath the line-up under the 3rd goose or up a little higher on the top?:S3:
