Taken yesterday from the main North Norfolk coast road.
1,000's of these birds around the Holkham area feeding on Sugar Beet tops.
Very difficult to isolate a bird from the rest of the group.
Cropped to the portrait mode to isolate pair of birds even further.
May have over done it on the adjustments.
D2x 600mm AFS II + 1.4 conv. Bean bag.

Nice image Major. I don't think you have over done the adjustments however I do find the fact that the back goose's right leg is obscured giving it a "peg leg" appearance slightly off putting. That would be my only nit.

Hi Major
All looks pretty good to me - I don't have a problem with the leg as many birds spend a lot of time on one leg!

A fine pair, I haven't seen one of these yet, very sweet.
