I think a closer crop from the bottom to remove a little more of the roof would improve the comoposition, but I love the silhouettes of the birds.

I like the geese/ducks in formation flying, adds to the shot. The light and colour on the clock tower are nice too. I'd have been tempted to move position or zoom in just a little more to try and crop out the part of the tree on the right

I can't decide if I love the tree... or hate it.

I know I love the geese! :) (not voting yet)

A workmanlike image, but doesn't hold m interest.

The first waves passed over without incident, in that quiet, timeless countryside. Just geese, migrating, they said. Like every year. Like every season, since before man could remember.

Just geese.

Just geese.

When the next waves came, they were too busy fighting for their lives to think much about geese.
