Jodi this is an amazing photo of the geese flying, trying to regain a comfortable formation in their flight south. They show up so well against the clouds and above the mountains. As a side bar, those mountains are majestic. Thank you for sharing this beauty. Ray

I can see why you wanted to take this shot! To me there is something special in seeing a flock of geese fly by! With a background like this it makes the moment even more special.
Looks like this group might have been coming in for a landing. I see several with their legs down. Very nice image and a joy to view! Good Luck in the contest! :o) Helvi

the contrast between the birds/mountains and trees are quite good,good dof as well the only thing i think would have been better would to have the birds more prominent but apart fro that a nice shot...Brian

A very lovely visual presented here of this amazing landscape. I love how you've captured the birds as they're soaring above seemingly close to the mountains. Composition shades, tones colors, and overall presentation is very well done. Thank you for sharing.

Such an ideal scene. I love the snow capped mountain with thick greeneries and the flock of geese added so much life in this composition. I also like the gentle sky and the colors are vivid and natural resulting from right white balance control setting. Great angle and choice of landscape orientation. An uplifting shot. Wish you the best in this contest, Way West. This really represents the Outside World.

This is a beautiful scene . I like the way the geese bring life as well as a sense of motion to the sky.well photographed from a perfect POV . Well focused, this image is clear and your exposure is perfect. The colors and tones appear natural, I love the trees in foreground and the way the mountains are reaching for the sky. This is very similar to the landscapes here in Ak.
Well composed and presented!

A lovely scenic photograph of shown here; the whole scene is clear and crisp, which I find seems to show in colder climates, perhaps indicating a cleaner air quality. The mountains and sky are an excellent backdrop for the geese, which I guess are migrating to warmer climes for the winter.

A beautiful Colorado Scene of the majestic mountains and the flock of geese heading to their next destination.

The image is lovely, and you have framed is in a nice manner, allowing appreciation of the incoming birds.

Camera settings are all skillfully) professionally dialed in; creating a sharp, clear presentation that is deserving of appreciation. Very Nice.
