catching up Canada goose

To me this goose seemed to have a very determined look as it tried to catch up with other geese.

Hello John

Interesting to see him with a great wing position. Seems quite soft, is this a significant crop?

thanks for sharing

A bit soft, I think, and the awkward shadows presented a real challenge. Good timing on the wing position and nice light.

Nice wing position and the comp leaves him plenty of room to move into. I agree on the apparent softness. There almost seemed to be a soft, wide halo around the goose in the larger version. Not like normal sharpening, more like you might find with some HDR tone mapping methods. Could just be my monitor.

Good light. There is heavy noise under the right wing.

Thanks for the comments, I think you are correct this is too big of a crop to keep decent quality. I'll keep trying.
