I have a local wild flock of these embden geese close by that mingle with local Canada geese. They have been in this same area for years.
Thanks for looking, any comments & suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Beautiful image, Steve. I like the angle of the neck and the partially submerged bill. You did a superb job on the whites with magnificent detail and the blue eye is a very nice touch. Well done.
