I think that geese, ducks and swans make wonderful subjects for photographs and this is no exception. The use of the dried grass is very good and like Jerome I like the ripples on the water. The details on the bird are also really good.
Putting your pictures in my favorites is the highest honor I can give you. If I could, I would give you an award. But alas, I cannot. So the highest praise I can award you with, is faving your artwork.
Kim That goose looks very laid back! Almost like he was sitting there waiting for you to take his picture. you should have asked him to smile;) Great picture. Paul
