| | | Re: Greylag Goose I like the framing and DOF too .... and the way the bird's head peeks out
I am just wondering how well it would have worked in portrait format given the bird's posture taking off and away or coming in to settle.
Well done anyway Chris.

| | | Re: Greylag Goose That's a great shot Chris, can't fault it. Nice and sharp, good colour and as Mark said plenty of space in front of the bird, essential in flight shots in my opinion. Well done

| | | Re: Greylag Goose I like it too Chris - especially, as Richard says, the way the bird's head peeks out. Well done.

| | | Re: Greylag Goose Thanks everyone for the kind comments..... It is nice to have some good critiques. Below is another shot, this time of a Bald Eagle which was taken at a local flying display. Such a graceful bird, but the photo does not do it justice as it was flying about 10 feet above the ground. Wonderful sight.
