This Image GRABBED my EYE. That's Why I Stopped By.
Thanks For Sharing ! Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience
Beautiful, beautiful, Jimbob. I feel like they are at my feet! Everything is wonderfully sharp and what a lovely grouping of them too. Wow, you are really honing your skills.
Oh this is nice! THese honkers look like they are taking a walk while just chatting away,the way buddies to. I really like how sharp everything shows up as well. A very lovely photo Jimbo! V
You make it look easy, Jim, but I've made dozens of bad Canada goose pix.
It's HARD to get those inquisitive black eyes to show in the midst of all those coal-black feathers, and the white band around the neck can make a meter go silly. Then there are all those midtones in the feathers to capture and the durn things MOVE while you're trying to keep them in focus.
Not to mention, they have the innate superiority of cats and make sudden decisions about photographers who have obviously inadequate flight and swimming skills and only rudimentary waddling skills.
Catching them on that little slope really adds to the composition, too. Good job all 'round.
A fine capture of the honkers, Jimbo. Good colour, details and a great looking frame. Maybe you should do a series on them "Meet the Honkers". Well done.
They are really checking you out in this one Jim. I hope you brought along a bit of bread of some cracked corn for them. They certainly posed well for you in this shot. Excellent work and the presentation is top notch.
I really do like this extra special Canadian Geese shot Jimbob! Usually they are just swimming along or eating grass, but it looks like you got these ones to pose for you making a perfect picture, Exceptional! for a goose shot and and I don't say that often...smile
