It was the most beatiful sunset I've ever seen and my very first evening in Bosque.

I was overwhelmed by the bird formations all over the fluorescent sky and the unlimited concert of calls in the air.

10D, 4/500 + 1.4x, ISO800

Thanks for looking and commenting!

Very nice. I wasn't sure about the OOF birds in the BG at first, but since they seem to be flying in formation I think that they are an asset.

Excellent! The second goose with its open bill also adds to the image.

The BG birds really give a feel of the ongoing action at this location.

Fantastic Image!

This is very cool - especially since the wing of the foreground bird doesn't break up the formation behind - great timing.

Perfect positioning in the frame of the subjects and I like the way the formation of birds in the BG add a bit of tension to the image.

A beautiful shot. I think the smaller dotted formation adds immensely to the image. Would not change a thing.

Totally cool. I love the formation in the BG and the gorgeous colors and gradation in the BG.
