Interesting possibilities here Jim but at only 600 pixels I think this is just to small to critique effectively, especially with the individual geese so small in the frame.

Very unique! Very stark and simplistic. May take a little off the top.

I do like it but more in a Art Photo way.

Without seeing more due to the hk bg, it seems wierd that they are swimming downward. I do like the line and their postitioning. Sharon

Jim,

This doesn't work for me, the geese are just too small in the frame in both versions.

Thanks for looking and providing your feedbacks. Let me address some of your points:
- I have included the link to a larger version in my descriptions. I didn't want to upload a larger version of the photo into NPN, since it is already stored at my photo site. I think this way would conserve some storage space here.
- The geese was swimming to me at an angle hence the tilted formation. I thought about level the formation, but I like the way it is;)
