Yes, the colors are complementary, and a fine job of it! But I can't tell the green is Evergreens, so IMO, I wouldn't mention them. Picky, I know. But still a good photo.

Love the balance, composition, border and depth of field. I can't help feeling though that this is somewhere outside of basic editing. It looks like there is some haloing around the berries which imply a selection, with perhaps gaussian blur added to everything but the berry twig? I may be well off, so won't put in a DQ request :-) but looking at the image I do "feel" as though something is not quite right. Of course the haloing could be chromatic aberation from a telecoverter or suchlike, so I apologise unreservedly if I am wrong! I will obviously mark this entry as if it were legal.

Beautiful colors - fall reflection? I wish the neck reflection wasn't cutoff - otherwise it would've made my top 5.

Next time try to get a picture where the subject looks INTO the open space/neutral space. Never to the outside. That was the best advice I got a long time ago. 8

This is truly lovely! People don't take many pictures of canada geese, because they see them so often. I forget how lovely the are. Nice capture! (not voting in this challenge.)
