how much did you bribe these geese to pose for you like this? absolutely fantastic and one-of-a-kind masterfully exposed capture. -Abstract

Thanks again everyone. I thought about your suggestion, Bruce, and I tried it out in photoshop. You're right, it does look better with a little more sky up there, but I think I am going to let it stand as is. - J.V.

Great framing and timing.

Great capture. Now if they could only get organized. But then it wouldn't be as interesting. -tv

I agree with the other comments--the other one was nice, but this one is simply an extraordinary capture.

Well thanks for complements everyone. I'd have to admit, this was pretty lucky.
Clair - Curves is a tool in Photoshop that lets you to change brightness levels of the image in a non-linear way. Here is more info:http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/photoshop-curves.htm
Bruce - I think I'll look into adding some sky up there tonight.

This is just plain startling. Wow! My only, only slight niggle would be to add some sky to the top border. Congrats! -- Bruce

A dream of a capture. I saw the previous one too - liked that as well.

I decided to post a different moon and geese picture. This one has no post-processing other than curves. - J.V.
