Way cool, Cheryl! That’s a frame full of birds. It’s nice that there’s some clear (but very disturbed) water at the bottom and scattered glimpses of land through the goose horde.

Cheryl, What a terrific abstract you have here. As Mark said, it also communicates the reality of the flock of birds. I can hear them taking off. I like the diagonal visual left to right movement you have captured. The more I look at this image, the more impressed I get with its shapes and all the details in the birds. Absolutely wonderful composition of repetition.
