Great shot!

What's the fuzz on the bottom left hand corner?

This is VERY nice. Love the compressed DOF you're getting here.

I can't tell if the rocks at the bottom left hinder the shot or not. But since I'm not sure, we'll go with "not".

Awesome.

I think the dark rocks lower left add, giving it some tonal range. It'd look too flat w/o it. There's a 'scrubby' upper left that I noticed after I resized and saved the shot for the web. I fixed it on the original- looks good now.

Thanks everyone!- I had been walking around the area looking for an archeological site and thought how pretty the backdrop looked- How steep the mountains were and how the shadows and lines just sort of flowed. The geese sort of just happened by to accommodate me.

That is great and I love the title.

Very nice B&W image.

Wonderful tonality. I'd love to see a second version with a much tighter crop -- while still leaving plenty to get that "vastness" the geese are flying over.

Thanks again all!
