Cool shot Ben, love the wing blur and a great job with the head. The light on the belly really helps against the dark background. Only thing that would improve it for me would be inclusion of the water but that's a tall order! :smile:

No criticisms from me Ben. That's a great image. Composition is excellent, good exposure, spot on focussing and a greta sense of movement in the wings. What more could you want.

Was thinking the same thing as Magnus, that the inclusion of the water that the goose is landing on would be my only possible improvement. But with or without, its a great shot, I think the balance of movement and sharp head is just right.

A well caught moment. The movement in the wings is great.
