 the daisies look a little like stardust, so the goose became a galactic being bringing stars into existence.

Very cool photo, Christian! I love the effect with the daisies. Most worthy of a coveted OOBIE - I'd give it my vote if Team Novice were up to bat this week.

This looks like an illustration for a fairy tale. Now you have to write the story. I love how the magical goose leave a wake of sparkling fairy dust with the flap of it's wings. It seems to have transformed the daisies as it passed by. I like the b&w for this image.

Background interferes with the bird, lighting could have been redirected better.
