A beautiful photograph, but imho the bird does not seem to be the main focus of the pic... overall a great pic though.. thanks for sharing

I thought that of the full image, the bird was actually the strongest subject. The silhouette is at the forefront and everything else is out of focus or covered with fog. Regardless of the size, i thought the bird was the most important.

I don't disagree with those thoughts, but I think if the bird wasn't in the picture it would still be an awesome photo.. I enjoy it much for all the reasons u mention, the fog, the silhoutte, and the fence bringing u into the pic.

I revised the entry more in line with the contest entry description.

a great concept, but the tree is a lil underexposed and it is to centered. If possible maybe you can do some photo "magic" to enhance the colors and maybe crop it so the tree isn't in the center of the image, try making it a vertical. Keep shooting, and thanks for sharing such a beautiful scenary.

You're right, but the image, owing to some sort of misunderstanding, was removed for a couple or so days. OK, I'll see what I can do, because I fully agree with your remarks.

Wagner! A masterpiece, although a bit reminiscent of good old Adolph! Uplifting, no doubt! I remember marching to it, on my way to the dentist

Yeah, Wagner rocks! It's a shame Hitler liked him so much as he gets a bum rap through association. That song always reminds me of the scene in Apocolypse Now, and these geese kind of reminded me of the helicopters approaching the beach.

Dead right, author, and yes, most people associate it with Francis Ford's masterpiece. And for sure I wasn't joking about one thing; it is uplifting! I just love listening to it.

U know when guess fly they form a "V" correct... u know why one line is longer then the other? ........................... *drum roll*................... there is more geese in one line then there is the other. LMAO

Nice, but a bit of noise

Lol Just trying to keep with the theme.. Shiny and if you start ringing that thing.. way distracting!!

a great concept and deffently very shiny... looks a bit on the soft focus side...thanks for sharing and good luck in the competetion.

Ya I pulled it out of the kids grad photos it was not the focal point. Thanks for the well wishes
