Greetings from the Critique Club!
Hello! I loved this shot when I first saw it, my first thought was, "WOW! Nice catch!"
As for meeting the challenge, as I see you have heard, it was a stretch. But let's talk about the picture.
I like the subject and the idea behind it but the crop seems off to me for some reason. Using my magic envelopes (these are famous you know) if you were to crop this more at the bottom, bringing the line up to the other water trail of the bird closest to you it creates lines that lead you right in and the birds, in their flight mode take you out the other side. All the water on the bottom of the shot does nothing for me personally. If you could add that space to the top instead, giving them room to take flight so to speak it would be of better use there.
Next, the colors are a bit dull, a slight adjustment in curves could really make this stand out, making the water a bit darker, the birds really stand out.
Great potential and great capture in the end though. Hope my comments help and Good Luck in future Challenges!

| Nice stop-action shot. To me, the "odd" couple part is a bit of a stretch. |

| Two very common geese don't say "odd couple" to me at all, not even with total reliance on the title. |

| Didn't I see them at Torino?? Good thing they couldn't try a board grab on the way to gold.... er... silver. Good photograph, and nicely timed. |

| Maybe I'm being to square here, but I see this all the time, so this isn't odd behaviour. Sorry. |

| The act you are trying to depict would be odd, other than that I don't see what's really odd about two geese. Other than that I like the photo. |
