Snow Geese at Dusk

I like the new look Gallery and it is great that you can post a larger image. This is an image that needs to be seen big so I thought it would be good to start with this one, which was taken in Bosque Del Apache.

Canon 1Ds MKII, 24-70mm, 1/500, ISO 200

Superb image. The birds radiating out from the distant tree is amazing, but in combination with the wonderful cloud colours and patterns is spectacular. :toast: :toast:

Looks pretty good (ditto comments above) and up there with your starling roost shot.

1DSM2 as well - got it fixed then.

Just amazing!! You can almost feel the texture in this image. One of your very best as far as I am concerned. However, I again see a halo around some of the birds, but nobody else commented last time. Is it me or perhaps just web compression? At any rate, it's a world-class image!

Hello Ian

Yes I got the little baby fixed :biggrin: It is a cracking camera and I will miss it when it finally packs up.

Hello Ian 2

Not sure mate because I can't see them on my monitor and no one else has picked up on it, as usually these Guys don't miss a trick, it might be compression, either way I have had a large print made and it does look nice.
