Snow geese @ dawn, Bosque del Apache

I think the lighting is great -- you've balanced the upper and lower parts of the photo superbly.

I totally agree with Stephen. Noise is barely noticeable and I don't think there are too many sleeping geese: instead, I believe those are perhaps one of the elements of interest of the image! Regards!

The number of geese are what makes this image IMHO and the lighting is beautiful. Maybe over sharpened??

I really like this image.

Simply brilliant shot...love it...my best 7...

Thanks Stephen, Adrienne, Mauro, Andre, Kallol. I try to edit this once a year, so far I haven't got it to where I want, but I'm getting close. It was cold and dark and I was sleepy, so I didn't get to see much when this was shot. Replaced version with less noise and sharpening. Previous edit is here...

Excellent gentle light!

this is simply amazing! ...and truly lovely!

Just perfect!
