Excellent use of desat to actually convey a message - the victory of man power over brute weight. That's the message I get, at least. Very good image.

This one has a very timeless feel, almost makes me wonder if it's one of those "trap" images taken by a well-known master and inserted by the SC to see how voters react.

Now that's a creative idea! Excellent image, and desat use to convey a message.

Too bad the lower left corner is obstructed, would have made a very good image.

The seeds are over-sharpened, as you can see from the white halos around them...

Very good idea, but over-saturated and unnatural blues.

Taking the kids for a walk

With some more post-processing, this could have been a hit: a channel mixer conversion to B&W for more contrast and punch in the background, a bit of saturation and a contrast bump on the geese, etc. An angle with the birds facing somewhat towards the camera would have helped as well, though I don't know if this was possible at the time :). Maybe also a lower point of view, from their eye level, and crop out the last bird, that cut in half anyway?

Yup - that's exactly what it is!

This is a good capture and a good B&W conversion, I'm just not sure what the color adds to it.
