Brilliant! No crop is my vote... My eye needs the blank space to fully appreciate the crowd. Well done, jv ~Lydia

Wow - that's a lot of geese! I think it would look more abstract with a square crop eliminating the geese facing sideways but the composition is nice as is too - for the ahhh... added tension....that's it! :-D CJ

I wouldn't crop either as the space adds a bit of tension to the abstract & reinforces a pattern, which is probably the tension maker......................I think:-) Looks great mate.

Love it! The grays and blacks against the blue is really amazing. Well done. jano

Really nice. I wouldn't crop this.. the patterns the birds make are almost like characters. Like they spell something but I can't quite read it.

Congrats! This is very good. Lordy, you got some birds in your neighborhood. I agree with Mary Anne, go for a 4x3 crop and chop off the left end of the photo for an even more abstract rendition. - Bruce

I like this one a lot, JV. Have you considered cropping off the more open area on the left side, maybe about 1/4 of the way in? I think that would increase the abstract, almost surreal quality of all those geese facing in the same direction.

Thanks everyone. I'm surprised how popular this is. I really liked it, so I posted it, but I wasn't sure if everyone else would. - J.V.
