The pose is great although it makes my neck hurt, the detail and lighting superb. What I really like about this well balanced image is the framing you chose and the double reflection you captured. The goose in the water and the water reflection on the goose, Two Cool . . .

I like the pose and the beautifully clean water, and the fact that the goose is actually in the water. I almost always see them only on the ground. I like the clarity of the image - the bird, the water and the reflection.

I like this for the same reason's you do. It is not that easy to get a decent shot of one of these.
