    Default Geese in Silhouette - from camera

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    This was made well after sundown and I did a little work on it but nothing really out of the box, just trying to make it look better from the high ISO and being so dark and dull. I was standing on a floating dock when I made it.

    Canon 5D Mk II, 1/50 sec, f4.5, ISO 1250, 105mm with 24 - 105 IS L.

    Judy, The colors are wonderful. I think that a small crop from the bottom might work also. The geese all lined up on the tree look great and the image has some pop. I especially like the added bit of light to the water. Nice work.

    Judy, this is very pretty. Love the post-sunset colors and the silhouette. My first thought was to take a tad off the bottom, as Denise suggested. Nice serene feel to this one.

    Beautiful colors, Judy. I like the geese in silhouette. On the thumbnail I thought it was a team of rowers in a Viking ship:)

    Thanks everyone! I always liked this image from when I first saw it on the camera. I just wish they had gotten on there a few minutes earlier! I was turning to leave the dock when I saw them swimming to the log so I waited and got 3 shots but this was the only one with their heads in a nice position and I got them to quit preening by whistling loud to get their attention!

    Here is a cropped version but the best color IMO is at the bottom so I didn't take off much!
