sorry the water is too sharp..I thought this goose was pretty picture worthy. I know he's standing on a rock but it looks like he's balancing on water. Hope this meets the challenge.

Great shot. Its simplicity speaks for itself. I think the border is too heavy and detracts from the image. The depth of field is effective. I think the central composition doesn't make the most of the subject. Cropping it offset to one side or something similar may have created just a bit more interest. Great shot though.
Great photo. The low light and reflection of the bird really look nice. I'm not craxy about the border though as it is really robust and almost gives the photo a crammed feel.
I wonder how they do that! Nice goose. I like the gold in the foreground. Not crazy about the heavy border and I think a closer shot of the bird might have been more effective.
The frame is really overpowering this photo. A small simple border (or none at all) would have been much better. The photo meets the challenge well...could have been a tad more focused. The colors and lighting are very nice.
This is nice, seems a little soft on focus though, I always like water better taken at longer exposure or if its not windy outside, But I guess the bird would have moved if you had taken this on a long exposure, Good luck
Great capture. Two things that I would re-consider are the choice of frame and the positioning of the subject. The frame seems to be over-powering, too big and chunky and the subject could possibly be located down the bottom left third. I don't think that the resulting negative space in the upper right would detract from the image. Overall very nice image though, well done (7)
