Greylag landing
Hi All,

One from this weekend. I was photographing another goose and goslings when this one came in for a landing near by. It got chased off in a flurry of squawking and pecking from the parents.

Thanks,

Canon 20D | 100-400mm @ f/8, 1/400, ISO 400 | Bean Bag

Very nice! I was doing exactly the same thing this morning. Aren't they fun? Perhaps a little tight at bottom right, but the detail is excellent.

Nice! Nit covered by Ian. Well captured! I like the background too, different from the norm, think it works quite well!

great shot, like this, the capture of the wing position makes this shot, draws eye to head (IMHO)

cheers

A nice shot that's slightly tight as mentioned. Nice and sharp and I like the wing movement here, whuch is strange as I usually like static wings :rolleyes:

Nicely done :toast:
