Still think it's iconic. (I think these same birds made it to our local park - no picnic blankets now and we haven't even seen spring!

Nice grouping - Must have been a long way up

A beautifully framed shot which could only have been bettered by not having one bird in front of the other in the middle. Of course the technical aspects let this down a bit where things are not as crisp as we would want.

our local canada geese feel that flying is beyond their dignity, they also crash more than land.
a postcard finish, had you thoght of flipping so birds fly left to right

Thanks Jade O. and out of focus. The camera was Panasonic FZ28. Pushing up the histogram and Clarifying tool made the noise so visible, that I made the noise reduction to the selected sky firstly.

Iconic was my first reaction and it isn't changing. This reminds me a lot of the flying geese sculpture in the Eaton Centre in Toronto but without the distracting background there. This is a classic Canadian image! I want to stand and sing the anthem! Of course, this may not be taken in Canada but all the same, you have caught everything right here from the formation to the lighting to the pure pure blue background untouched and uncluttered by any cloud. Perfect crop. Great postioning. Truly iconic! A clear contender for my no. 1 pick but this time around, I think I have a handful for the top spot. It will be tough to choose...

good shot.. nice focus..
had you needed noise reduction for iso200? then the camera might have been a small sensor camera.. on that case F8 should be wrong..
what camera?
