Winter geese lifting off a rice field. I liked the 3d look and monochromatic feel.

Ed, just curious ... Larry's eagle isn't after them is he?
You did capture a bit of 3D feel here. I like the various wing positions too. Very good exposure and good detail when considering their distance to camera. Thanks for sharing!

Excellent, Ed, you really have captured a 3D feel.

Great shot Ed. The oof bg sets it off.

Very nice photo Ed. You are correct about the 3D appearance.

Very unique Ed. The various positions of the geese are really interesting to look at. I think my favorite one is the one quacking. Aren't there a couple of mallards mixed in there?

Bill, I thought there might be a few mallards but I am pretty sure they are juvi snow geese.

Yep, looks like a goose to me too. Pretty nice detail - how far were they?

I would guess I was 50-75 yards away. Shot this one handheld hanging the 600VR out my blind (er car) window.

Nice fast shutter! That lens is killer!

well done with the separation between all the birds, I agree with the 3D feel, even the 100% crop is impressive
