Thanks for the comments. This is one of those lucky shots. It has a small flow of geese comming in and I just started shooting and this one was the best of the bunch.

FYI: If you look close there are two species here. The bottom two are the "newly split species" that used to be a sub-species of the Canada Goose. They are Cackling Geese (see the neck band on the middle on, lighter breast, smaller bill (hard to see), and a bit smaller size than the "lesser" Canada Goose on top). Van

This is lovely, Van. Great Job!!! The sky behind the geese is great - not that plain hard blue I usually get with my bird pics.

6 - 'Almost' got them in individual 'flying sequences'. Good capture. Criticism; difficult, as obviously opportune, but sharper, more 'pop' and a tweaking of the colors, especially the sky - or otherwise a slight variation in composition/space (the 'centered' works, but I think a variation may have given this something extra, but not sure), likely make this even better in my opinion.

Cool shot...birds are soft though. Nice exposure to get birds and sky.
