I was extremely lucky to have a beautiful sunrise at a local impoundment used my thousands of migrating Canadian Geese.

Welcome to NSN. This is a very nice first post. The warm light is wonderful. You did well to get all of the geese in the frame without any being cut on the edges of the frame and no birds overlap each other.

The image size is a little bigger than the guidelines allow. It is 800 pixels and it should only be 650 on the longest side.

This looks like a little more USM would really make it pop.

Again, welcome. We look forward to seeing more of your work. :)

Dennis, I'd like to welcome you NSN. This is a very nice first post. It has a great feel to it. Would also work a little lighter too.

Look forward to seeing more of your photography.

Sweet light. You managed to get all the birds in the frame and maintained separation in each bird. Nice image.

Not only a nice flight shot but the inclusion of the fall foliage makes this really stand out.

Dennis,

Welcome to NSN. I certainly like the light, fall colors and seperation between the geese. You forgot to list the technicals.

Jim
Enjoy viewing

I too, am curious about the tech specs, but regardless, I love the light on these birds. Very nice pan blur on the foliage with crisp birds. Well done.
