Canada Goose in Flight

I know I may be sticking my neck out here and will no doubt incur the wrath of all you traditionalist photographers, however I would appreciate your views on the attached.

Unfortunately although the original had good colour and texture to the body and wings of the bird, it was also just too soft of focus to stand up in its own right - hence the arty treatment.

I would say to you the same thing I say to myself when doing this..."good PP practice."

I can appreciate what you are trying to do with this but that wall thingy in the background is making me feel woozy. I cannot recall how many shots I have tried to 'save' with PP in the past but I have reached the conclusion that you need a good shot to start with before attempting the artistic makeover treatment. If you are determined I would try to tone that background down as much as possible. Take some colour out and apply a graduated focus blur but I would be inclined to mark this one down to experience.
