I wasn't sure where to post this image, but in looking at the images on the birds forum, it seems to me that this fits in better on landscapes.

Yes, Michael...this is fine in landscapes.
I'm not sure what is going on with this image though....all the geese have a dark halo around them.
Also, the top of the mtn has a dark un-natural lighting to it....
Perhaps you may wish to revisit your processing on this one.

Too many processing artifacts here. It is obvious that the sky was darkened improperly resulting in a darkening of the sky all around the birds and some of the foreground was brightened resulting in a whitening of the snow around the trees. While this photo has a lot going for it, the processing has let it down in my opinion.
