Greetings from the Critique Club!

Bwahahahahaaaa...Marcel, I had the feeling that I was going to end up with the crit for this image! Absolutely great capture, all the geese on the ground help to add a sense of stability as all their friends take flight. I can't even go with my all-time favourite nitpick of bleachiness, because there isn't any :-) Fascinating to see the varying amounts of tones in just simple off-white and the brown/tan of the heads. Amazed that you avoided areas of flat black, and your settings are dead on for shot like this.

Again, so glad to see this shot ribbon! Congrats yet again and continue to shoot and enter and win more ribbons :-)

Hello from the Critique club

An interesting image that meets the challenge

Your intention to demonstrate the necessary passing of time to maturity of the chicks in order to break out of the eggs is quite obvious. I̢۪m not sure that its worked very well, the eggs themselves are quite insignificant through soft focus and diminutive size, certainly in comparison to the egg timer itself. I think it would have worked much better to have the egg-timer in soft focus in the background, that way the emphasis would have been on the eggs with a less obvious but equally effective inference of time passing.

For those concerned for the welfare of the nest ‘No fledglings were harmed in the making of this image’ might have been a worthwhile comment to include! Thanks for your entry Marcel.
