Very nice. I like the symmetry of the wings.

Beautiful bg in this image. For me, that adds a lot of interest. The opposite wing positions is pretty special, too. Great capture

Eric, sharp image. If you have room, you might want to open up a little room on the left for the geese to fly into.

What terrific poses Eric! Love how they're stacked on each other, with opposite wing poses. You've got some really nice detail as well. I too would prefer a bit more room on the left for them to "fly into".

Eric,

I like how the birds are so close together, thier wing positions and the nice eye contact they gave you. I think this would show much more detail if it were closer to the 300 kb limit, this is only 69.6 kb on the server which indicates over compression and I can also see crunchy artifacts around the geese which show up with over compression. As others have mentioned some room on the left for the bird to "fly into" would benefit the composition. I think that it would be worth the time to rework this and compress less.
