1 right travelling - 12 left travelling.......in any event, a nice even number.

Quite like the nice slow pace of this scene and the reflected umbrella colours in the river.

13, yes. If not for the tittle, I wouldn´t know the main reason behind the image. Now, of course, I like it.  + 1 to Mongo´s comment of the reflections.

I like this somewhat surreal scene.  To me, the saturated color of the umbrellas enhance that feelings.

I see 14 geese in the B&W image.   :o :o :o

Both nice images in different ways. 13 and 14 geese respectively.

I expect you trained for this by getting your ducks in a row?    ;D

 Not at all. It is just not apparent in the first image the main reason, if any in particular, to take the shot and share it. The title gave the clue. A strong clue at that :)
