Nice simple silhouette shot, John. I like how the birds are all distinct and not merged in any way with each other. Good frozen capture of these geese in flight with clean silhouette lines.

The formation and separation between the birds give this a very "clean" feeling. Well done.

Nice silhouettes John! I agree with Carolyn and Mark's comments too. The background is a nice neutral setting off the birds well without too much contrast. I find their flight pattern interesting; wonder if they filed a flight plan?... :smile: .
