Hey Matthew. This sure is a wild goose chase :) I like it how the bird in front is moving. He really is running away from the other goose. The tone of the picture is good. The brownish birds work well with the light blue water. If you could edit this picture freely there are a couple of things that could have been better.
1. Darker background. Making the background darker and the birds lighter would bring them more out in the picture.
2. Cleaning up the small stones that are laying on the ground would have made this picture cleaner.

I really good moment and fits the challange very well. Good job.

Good luck in future challanges :)

Best regard, Arni

My only real comment has to do with positioning: I'd rather see their faces than their butts, just like with people, shots from front are more interesting than behind (usually).

Good capture! I am not much of a bird-lover, but I can appreciate this. Good luck with the next challenge!

this chase doesn't look too wild, maybe you could have chased the geese to get them to move abit more wildly

Has anyone suggested "goose stepping"?

I like the detail work - that you can see the drops of water on the feathers.

Made me laugh. Well captured and I like the sharpness of the water on them too.
