The darkness of the photo and the geese just lit really adds something spectacular to this. It leaves a lot to the imagination...most of the time photos like this don't work well...but this one really is a great shot.
I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.
Positives: So easy to have gone with something more conventional with this scene - instead you give us this dark mysterious and slightly sensual take on the scene. Masterfully restrained and fully of smudgy goodness. I really like your use of negative space too.
Critical Stuff: I wouldn't dream of it.
Overall: Looking forward to seeing who is responsible. Amazing stuff.
I like the ethereal feel of this picture. The treyish purple shape in the background middleright of the picture doesn't seem to add much to the scene, I feel if you edited it out/blackened it you'd get a better picture. Right now it takes away from the lit geese.
I looks like you can get two neat visuals from this one shot by just drawing a line through the middle, with the left being a bright glade and the right being more storybook fantasy glow.
