This one made me laugh out loud, It looks like a study for an animated cartoon. Graceful aren;t they? I like your late afternnon light with the tinge of orange. I like the way you have avoided shadows. your fous is right one, the composition is a very nice rule of thirds with a lovely leading line, the wing span of one goose pointing towards the other who almost seems to be moving left to avoid getting hit, Your frontal view makes their heads look really smal, and seems to be a commentary on their brain size. I bet the splashdown was another good shot. 8

Excellent capture. You were in the right place at the right time for this one right? The effect of the setting (or rising) sun really boosts this image, and your title is both funny and fitting.

Very neat shot. I like that you were able to capture two of the birds. One gliding and another with the wings flapping. It gives a feeling that the birds are coming right at you. The reflections on the water of the birds are really great. Seems like they are really big birds yet they can still fly.

Beautiful photograph! I really like the interplay between the two birds - their body differences, one being more vertical and the other more horizontal with the nice orangey coloring makes the image more interesting. Excellent :)

Lovely light...sundown? I think you have captured the challenge well. The shot could of been a bit more in focus and a lot more sharp. However, these are great examples of \'flight\'.

LOl this one is funny, the one on the left looks like he has forgotten how to fly and was thrown from a plane, impressive you got 2 flying birds, I had hard enough time getting one!
