....or Emden Goose...whichever way you spell it...having a swim at Elmwood at the Springs, in Green Springs, Ohio. Elmwood is a healthcare center and retirement village. This is another picture that I edited with Topaz Simplify to make it acceptable for posting.

Simplify brought out the artistic qualities in this scene, Jimbob. The Emnbdnbnen (sp) Goose would be pleased with her new look.

The goose is nice and clear and I like what Topaz did to the water Jim.

Thought that this goose came from Emden, a town in the northern part in Germany , but seems that it comes from a near area of your country, lol.

Fine 'painting' of this non German goose mate!

In my eyes it looks like an oil painting. But that's just my humble opinion. The light, sharpness and colors are good. Good job Jim.

The goose looks isolated yet content. Nice

Looks like one of them plastic lawn ornaments floating on the water. I had no idea there were retirement communities for geese. I always thought they ended up cooked. Good post work on the photo, Jimbob.
