It's quite impressive to see and hear a big flock of snow geese. I like the flight position of the birds and would clone out some of the little clipped pieces of wings in the corners. The birds look a bit soft on my monitor.

I too have many mass snow goose images like this one. You have good dof and that helps a lot. I just think images like this lack focus. My eye wonders around the image not knowing what to look for. I struggle with myself.

The geese also appear soft on my monitor. Personally I would like to see more geese in the photo.

<"Impressive"> Hold on, don't know if my heart can take too many compliments at once. :D Yeah your right, it does look a tad soft althought the 16 bit tiff file looks tack sharp. Post processing of this file is nothing new, go figure.

Tim your spot on with my thinking until very recently. There is symmetry even in what appears to be chaos especially in nature. Look at some of MC Escher's work, not that I am making comparisons. :D
