You sure made the most out of that blast off Morris!
Lovely set of which the first three have the added benefit of the golden hue off the reeds.

Great light in these - and they really show the way they work in unison to get from one place to another - I'm sure for safety reasons! I always look forward to your shots Morris. You have your own style
Thank you Tim,
I’ve seen them bum and flap into each other and their being so light and not held down by gravity makes it a big nothing

That's a very pleasant sequence, Morris, and the marsh close-to-the-ground images are some sweet in light, colour and overall feel.
One suggestion.....call me crazy, but if you are showing a flock of birds which are fairly large in the frame individually, i.e., with well discernible features, then I think it is best not to show any of the birds truncated by the frame. In other words, any and all birds in the flock should be either entirely in, or out. (Alas, sometimes we have to resort to cloning removal of truncated birds in order to achieve the aforementioned in-out state.) Now, if one chooses not to do that, then the image with truncated birds might convey a sense of overly lax or random framing . ...Show more →
Thank you Peter,
I’m very well versed in composition and not having things cross the edge of the frame is one of the guidelines. I chose to ignore the guideline in this case as having the geese cropped in the back tells the story of more geese behind them. There are plenty of times where I will clone a bird out as you suggest.
