Hi Alan

Love it I think it is a great shot. I really like the soft light, open bill and wing position - is the width full frame, if not, I think the image would benefit from a little more canvas either side which would also have allowed for more of the splash!

Thank you ALL for your comments :toast:

David - Yeah this was full frame, i just cropped off some at the top and bottom.So what you see is what i was looking at when i pressed the trigger.Thats why i just missed the splash.

The next "goose taking off" shot i'll post(in 2-3 days)has a awesome foot splash, so look out for that one :wink: :wavey:

Wow! Superb timing - it's a great pose, and I love the inclusion of the little 'take off' splash at the far right.

Cracking work.

Lovely shot Alan and great timing, if I was going to be picky (and I am not :) I would have liked to see a little more of the splash, look forward to seeing the next one :smile:
