Snow Geese

[Mike Landwehr]

This was taken at Bosque on one of Artie's IPT's. Snow geese in the corn dust just prior to sunset. Kudos to Artie for always knowing where to be, and when to be there! :)

Great mood and light. I might be tempted to brighten the upper right but like it as is.

[Dan Walker]

Great light and action. I like how everywhere you look there are more goose heads.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Oh wow, great mood to this!! All the heads looking everywhich way is great. Do I see a Sandhill Crane near the edge of the frame middle left? :-)

[Jude Haase]

I do wish for a lil more sharpening on the bird closest to the center of the image.....Other than that very nice!!

[Mike Landwehr]

Good eyes, Daniel! Actually, there was a pair of sandhill cranes among these snow geese. The leftmost of the two didn't survive the crop (except for a bit of his bill on the left edge of the image!). Thanks for commenting.

Wonderful light and nicely composed image.

[David Fletcher]

Great capture and processing. This one has it all. It's dramatic, composed well, nice coloring and light, and has depth. Artie took you there, and you made the most of it.

[Raymond Barlow]

wonderful image!! I wonder if it would look better without the gesse in the air??

[Bob Ettinger]

Great job, the timing with the geese landing and the golden light through the dust.

Hey Mike, Thanks for the kudos. This is better than anything I got that day! I love the bird in the middle.
