Leaving Me Behind

This is the new and improved version of this image . . . I had posted the initial photo earlier this evening and received 5 comments and 3 favs on the photo but the more I looked at it, the more I realized it needed some cropping to improve the symmetry in the image. Unfortunately, I couldn't process the edit in Picmonkey so I lost those comments and favs . . . thank you to those individuals for taking the time to view, comment, and fav my original photo! As always, I truly appreciate your input! This was certainly a learning experience for me. I'm amazed that I spent so much time working on the original image and yet didn't really "see" what was there until I posted it. :-)

Here's my original description:
As soon as I stepped a bit too close for comfort, these geese made it clear they weren't interested in remaining on land for photos today.

Done it myself - noticing a dust spot, or a blurred "something" I haven't seen before after I've posted! Lovely shot

[gloria jones]

Great timing and capture

[HelenM]

I didn't see the original but this is a fabulous shot

[Karen]

Yes I love that moment when they run on water! Lovely capture!

[Chris K]

[Joanna kate]

Terrific capture of the take off

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

[Issi Bannerman]

Ah, this is super! Perfect timing!

[Helen Jane]

Well I didn't see the other, but I certainly like this. These geese did you a favour by flying off like this. Well captured - nice work Gayle.

Get out of the shot, get out of the shot.... they tried but didn't succeed. Great shot!!

[Dawn]

Cool capture fav

So I'm comming back to comment and fav again :) Amazing one of my favourites here ;)
It was funny though - I thought I'm having a déjà vu moment, like: "I remember leaving my comment here..."
