Mabry Mill, located off the Blue Ridge Parkway in southern, Virginia

Last week, during a brief stop while driving

I love this picture...except for the frame and the goose. The bird is too white and too distracting. Clone him out and you've got a 7/7 picture

Great colours and exposur.

I don't like the duck in the foreground at all, it's overexposed and takes away from the photo.

Other then the duck it's very good.

Keep shootin' and God bless.

You are both right. Sometimes when I have an idea in my head for a photo it actually gets in the way as I can be reluctant to let go when it doesn't work. In this case, I had the idea to have the ducks (geese? .. uh ... whatever, not a farmer) in the forground and I actually jumped a fence and laid down on the grass to get it. You're both right though. It's a better picture without them.

 

An added note, to whoever gave me a 2/3, an explanation would be nice. Certainly this pic is a little Hallmarky and a 7 is a stretch. Hell, 6 is probably a stretch. But, I can't see a two and if you do, I'd be interested in your opinion.
