I like the composition though the light seems to be a little flat. I think more contrast would make the image pop.

I like the snow piling up on their backs. I suggest cropping the image closer to eliminate the object along top edge, increasing contrast, and sharpening a bit.

I like the fact that you shot these geese doing something other than flying. I also like the look of the snow on their backs and head. Nice job.

Golly, this looks bleak! The three geese balance the composition well, but it is a bit of a shame something has crept into the very top of the frame - I would be tempted to crop it out. I do wonder if the photo might be more successful if you adopted a lower vantage point?

Nice depiction of birds in winter. Must have been cold for the photographer, too!
