    birds are snowgeese

    Took this shot as a storm approached and the sky got very dark.
    Any comments? Composition? Whites? saturation in marsh?

    beautiful light!! love the golds in the grass. i dont know what to tell you to do with this one, but one thing i might do is evict the two birds on the lower left side. the one sitting in the grass by itself and the one taking off just right of it. the pattern of birds in the sky is really neat, but these two birds draw my eye off them.

    All I can say is Wow !!!!!

    As far as the birds in the sky spacing is the key and can't imagine better !!! Dramatic light and gorgeous !!! I could go either way with the two birds .. you even got the spaced perfectly !! Big Congrats !!!

    This has great impact, really eye catching, very well captured. I would try taking off a bit of the top and I'm leaning toward the previous suggestion of cloning out the two birds. Also, maybe a bit of CW rotation.

    Sweet light - like it as it is - many possibilities here - yiu could even cut the water and birds off the bottom - gives it a entirley different feel again - nice one!!!

    Gorgeous light and 3D feeling! I might consider running a light NR on the sky.
    I agree with Lance, that cropping the water and the birds from the bottom will give the image a new perspective...

    Hi Bob, I like this image as you have presented it as far as composition and saturation, might have cloned out the two mentioned birds if it were mine, and also vote for NR on the background. It's got a great feel; I love the lighting. This is a very nice image!
