I agree with people that I should have cropped this a little tighter, but the photo wasn't very clear and I had to post-sharpen it. With that, the quality is not very good and when I cropped it -- it got way too pixelie.
Renee, this is a really beatiful shot. Placing in the upper third is really quite good! Only one 1 vote, also very good. The silhouettes are very pleasing and the color bold and eye catchy. I like the transition of color across the image, but I agree that a little closer view of the geese (maybe a landscape crop) would have added a touch to this, still I like that color transition. I'd call this photographer's choice. I didn't vote this challenge, but I think this is an easy 8, maybe a 9. Rob
The blue is a little bit grainy. My guess is oversaturated. Nice concept for the photo and well executed. I think I'd have cropped the top of this photo off and lost most of the blackness and other unrelated stuff from the top so I couldn't made the geese a little bit bigger in the frame. The colors are very good and really add a lot ot the mood of the shot. I just think they are a little oversaturated.
gorgeous colors! Reflections on the water and the geese silouetted by the light. I'd crop of the top - whatever it is in the distance there is just distracting from the ethereal image. 8
Oh my gosh! How incredible is this! I love the colors, the mood, the shadows, the silhouettes, this is an awesome shot! I have to give this one a definite 10! So beautiful!!
