Nice image and good space. I particulary like the way one goose has its wings up and the other has its wings down.

Hi Tom thank you it's out of a sequence of 5 images, I felt this one was the best it definitely has the most pleasing wing positions of the short sequence.

Hi Phillip

Nice image - because of the plain sky I would be tempted to crop a little tighter!

Wing position makes this one for me :toast: - would have liked them to have been larger tho'.

Hi thank you all for your comments here is a slightly tighter crop have also given it a slight tweek with a curve.

Hi Phillip,

I like the second one much more as it focuses all attention on the birds. Nice one!

First shot does more for me than the 2nd.

The wings are superb as are the light and sharpness

This is great, I think the cropped version is the better shot.

Phillip,

I like both shots I have to say. For me the crop could be improved if the birds were moved slightly to the left but, as I said, that is just personal prefernce on my part. Of course the other problem with this image is that I didn't take it! :biggrin:

Hi Philip,
This works for me, particulary because of the opposite wing positions and the grey backdrop which works superbly,especially in contrast to those orange beaks and legs. :toast:
