Coming In

Another one of the Snow Geese from a rather bad overcast day. It is cropped a bit to make the bird larger in the frame than the original, any ideas for better cropping?

Dvir:

Cropping of group shots like this is always a challenge, rarely perfect. I like the row of bent over geese along the bottom, acts as a bit of a border. I might pull up the middle of the curve a sliver to brighten the image a bit without blowing the whites.

Cheers

Ok did a slight curves adjustment on a midtones masked layer.

Yes I think the repost is a bit better, I like the composition as is. Good timing and good details in the plumage.
