    I like the Main subject..and I generally like of OOF birds in the frame, but I would just get rid of them here.

    I like the dynamic pose, the image is very small on my screen and doesn't show much details. I am not sure about the dark and bright BG and how the boundary runs right through the goose, an all-dark or all-bright would have been much better here, you can bring out the goose a bit more, especially the wing tips that are lost in the dark and overall the whole image looks dark on my screen...the OOF heads are distracting

    The light is really sweet and i like the pose. I would take the lower birds out. Nice one.

    Great light, and the incoming goose has the best landing/flight pose you could ask for. Although the BG does not bother me, I agree it is unfortunate the wingtips get lost in the dark. Yes to removing the oof heads, they are too low and too few to work as they could have IMO.

    Great landing pose and well focused, I would try and brighten the bird a tad to make it stand out a bit more against the dark background. Agree to losing the OOF heads as for me they don't do anything for the image.

    What bugs me the most is that the wingtips are lost in the black background. Things would have been better if the wings were fully spread ...
