Snow Geese
These were taken at Chincoteague National Wildlife refuge, VA this November right about sunrise. We had several great sunrises and a couple good sunsets. Canon 40D, 28-300mm Canon IS lens at 300mm, tripod. -1 exposure compensation to get more silhouette. The first photo is the one I cropped to keep 3 geese. I will post the uncropped too.

Here is the uncropped version. I love the clouds!

Great shots. :toast: Love the image with the 3 with their wings in sync.

I also really like the first one. The softness of the tones and the softness of the image make a great artistic pairing. Stunning work! :toast:

I'm going to be the odd man out 'cause I like the uncropped version better. Both are great, but the slight diagonal of the birds in the second one really works for me! Great job!
