Cheyenne Bottoms Sunset with Geese

[Anita Rakestraw]

Another sunset at CB....I added the geese. Do you think they are needed; could this have stood on its own?

Hi Anita, I feel the image could have stood on it's own but I like the geese in the image.I like how they are positioned on a diagonal to the foreground weeds. The lighting is beautiful along with the layers. I might want to see a small bit more of the foreground weeds so they don't look quite so clipped.(not much)

Anita- In my opinion the sunset image is beautiful on its own, with the horizontal banding of water, vegetation and sky. The geese put it over the top. I love it. (I can't be critical of the addition, having recently added some pelicans to a sunset of my own.) Very nice image either way. Keep both!

I like it as presented Anita, geese and all...:D The color tones and hues are sweet. I like the lighting...:cool:

Either way for me Denise - could stand on its own, Geese work well though.
Like the colours and teh lighting is superb.
Good show :)

Thanks very much to all of you. I'm just always a bit unsure about these flat KS horizons. :D
