Hello Kamal,
I totally understand - I'm just getting back to see all the responses.
Your question sparked my interest since I LOVE Canada Geese. According to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, their clutch size is from 2-8 eggs. So, 8 truly is enough!
Thanks for asking and for your review.

Thank you Darcy. I might see if I can Photoshop some extra space in there.

Hello Kamal,
What an interesting study! I love the concept and the title.
It doesn't bother me that the man in the lower left is looking forward - the train is moving forward. I am a bit bothered by the image 2nd from the left on the top. The window opening is such a different size, that it keeps drawing my eye away.
I'm also wondering if you could make the background more of a grey instead of the stark white. It's too much of a contrast and trains themselves are not white. Grey with some horizontal lines or a bit of texture might be worth a try.
Great concept and a lot of work, I'm sure.

Hello Xiao,
I'll make it unanimous - one of your very best submissions! The setting, her pose and the lighting effects are wonderful. Just tone down that blue bag a bit and this one is a winner!

Hi Tom,
My first reaction was: "Wow"! Followed by, "that foreground is a bit too dark". I think you're on the right track with a bit of luminance, or maybe just crop out a small bit from the bottom.
Great shot(s) and impressive post-processing!

Hi Greg,
What a beautiful portrait.
I agree that the bit of ankle should be removed with a tighter crop. You could really eliminate that entire bottom shelf of the bench. Nope - I tried and it didn't look right. Besides, I like her shoes!
Great idea to clone out those bright leaves, but I think I would like it better if you grabbed a different section to create a smoother look to the background.
Here's my take for what it's worth!

Hi Darcy,
I love this - but I don't love the cars. I agree that a quick "Content Aware Fill" in Ps to remove them would bring the viewer's eyes back to focus on the beautiful symmetry of those trees and allow the leading lines to transport you right into this idyllic scene.
Great capture - especially those snowflakes!

Hi Ingrid,
I love the layers and the coolness of the blues. I may have to disagree with Tom on reducing the foreground. If anything, you might try taking out that top layer of clouds to create a "skinnier" landscape-style image. Just my thoughts...
Kudos to capturing this at 75 mph!

Hi Ingrid,
Your thought echo mine. I loved the lines and especially the curve of the Mama Goose's neck around that one fluff ball.
Thanks for your observations!

Hi Jay!
Great to see you here! You might see this one again as this is the ONLY way I can capture a decent bird image! They have to be VERY STILL!
I'll pop over to #19 to see yours!

Hi Tom,
Yes - I think Photography and Patience both begin with the same letter for a reason! LOL!

Hi Jay,
I agree with the others. It's a beautiful shot. The lighting is wonderful and the reflection adds a nice touch. But that dark branch/root distracts from the beauty of the image. Maybe try the other shot that you have if you can't clone it out.
Congrats on seeing and capturing this beautiful image!
