 After waiting all week for the weather to break and expose some of our beautiful scenery I finally got one short opportunity yesterday and was able to capture a number of snow geese shots against fresh snow and in the fall colored fields. Not the spectacular shots I had hoped for but the mountains just never did come out for me.

I decided on this one because I felt it would be different from the normal wide landscapes we will see in this challenge.

Your picture is nice. It looks so cold - almost makes me shiver when I look at it!

It distracts quite a lot that the birds are flying right in the middle of this beautiful pic. Why not to crop 1/4 from up? But I like this anyhow.

Love it! Great way to spice up the landscape by adding geese flying. The back ground is very muted and I don't know if there was any way for you to increase the contrast without making the birds become silhouettes. But that might look nice too.
