Wow, a bird picture that is quite unusual but still well done. I really like the different angle here, but more impressed that you still composed it extremely well. The puddle...it's what makes the picture work.

What a horrible thing to befall a migratory bird. You were right to focus it as you did, and compose it headless as you did - zeros right in on the point of the piece and makes it all the more poignant. B&W was absolutely the way to go with this one.

Ayee !! another underated shot in this challenge . .

This is such a good shot, and tells so much more of a story than just something sitting looking back at you (like I would have taken :- ))

This does what a picture should - it tells a story and connects with the viewer.

Although I have to admit it didn't seem to connect with that many in this case . . I can only hope some of them come back and take another look at leisure.

p.s. The title you used was perfect . . I wouldn't have said the same for 'Bird Butt' :- )

This was a really nice shot for the challenge simply because it was so different to the vast majority of images.

I thought the composition was fantastic, espially the way you captured the melting ice were the goose had walked. Really strong black and whire conversion as well. Mind you just looking at that wing made me wince
