Mother Goose + Repost

This mother goose had eleven goslings. The setting with the park bench seemed so inviting to sit for a bit and share in the story with momma and her goslings. Ths lighting was quite bright and many of the geese were in deep shade. I tried to mitigate the bright spots a bit in post processing. Canon 60D, f11, 1/80 sec, iso 400, -1 EV, 100-400 ISL at 120 mm, 90% of original frame, slight rotation and crop off the top of some very bright foliage. Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions.

This is a wonderfully peaceful/restful scene, Ed, with the goose and her goslings resting by the park bench.  I'd say you handled the light well, with the exception of the one gosling right in front of momma.  You may be able to tone that done a bit more in post.

Second Edition Mother Goose Story. I toned down the little one in the center a bit. Thanks for your suggestion Mark.
