What a cracking shot.
Love the way the thin line of cloud echoes the line of the geese and also how the black at the top and bottom of the image frames the colourful scene superbly.
Without the silhouetted chuch the image would be good,but with it,it makes it even better.

Hi Nigel

Agree with Justin the silhouette of the church greatly improves an already strong image!
