First, thanks for the detail you included about your composition thought process. Very well thought out.

I really like the diagonal formed by the water...that is the strongest part of your image IMO. Having the geese at the end of the diagonal is another plus. The scene is inherently busy but good job with bringing order to the scene.

I think my suggestion would require either waders or feet of stone...so read on if you wish! Preferably, I'd have liked the water to come into the lower border of your frame, if for nothing else than to strengthen/improve the diagonal. Then I wouldn't have to hop over some grasses to get to the geese. Bear in mind, this likely wasn't possible, considering the time of year. ;) This slight framing change would have minimized the area of the picture filled by the dormant grasses in the lower left. Then my eye could wander up the river, stop at the geese, pause for reflection, then move around the image. I like the white bark trees BTW.

As to your processing...still feels a bit yellow but I can blame that on my work display.

Don't you love the 12-24! ;)

Very very nice composition. I agree that the foreground is a little dark and busy. The blue area in the water pulls it together.

I am surprised it didn't do better. It was one of my favorites and I gave it a nine.

Grain, light and toning used to brilliant effect, plus the fuzziness in the legs providing movement. Really beautiful shot and genuinely evocative of yesteryear childhood memories - even to the detail of her skirt and shoes. Absolutely brilliant interpretation and execution.

Great image...the tone suits it and it really speaks childhood to me! The motion really adds to it.

Reading your brief I now understand why I left the comment Slightly oof, shooting with a tele coverter as I learned from experience can do this at that distance, well done on your perseverance to get a good shot.

Nice shot but a different POV, IMO, would of helped.
