[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This was taken early in the morning at 06:50. The Egyptian geese on their way to a waterlake for their breakfast.

The Egyptian Goose (Alopochen aegyptiacus) is a member of the duck, goose and swan family Anatidae. This 63-73 cm long species breeds widely in Africa except in deserts and dense forests, and is locally abundant. They are found mostly in the Nile Valley and south of the Sahara. It has also been introduced elsewhere; Great Britain, the Netherlands and Germany have self-sustaining feral populations, the former dating back to the 18th century, though only formally added to the British list in 1971. In Britain, it is found mainly in East Anglia, in parkland with lakes.

Hi Kalvyn,

Nice picture of a V formation of birds in flight. Very good handling of light taking into account the sky, this makes it very difficult to accurately capture the birds, but what you've accomplished. The composition is good.

I took the liberty of making some changes or add them as a workshop, I sincerely hope that this will not bother you. I did it because I noticed some problems of noise in the sky and other details which do nothing to detract from the picture, but can be improved with some touches of PP. I do not have much experience in the PP, but I have learned to correct the underlying problems; I hope you like the settings.

Greetings and thanks for sharing, Welcome to TN!

Jesús
