Pink foot in rain

Hi all

Went down to the local lake and found two Pink-footed Geese in with the Canada Goose flock. First time I have photographed anything in the rain and I feel it really adds an atmosphere to the picture.

Comments and crits welcome.

Cheers

Hi Ian,

I like this. It has been well executed, giving the rain a sense of movement, a nice pose on the Goose and lovely colour within the frame from the Thistles.

Well seen and taken

love the rain and foreground here, and the pose is great too, i thought pink-footed geese were winter visitors?

Very nice portrait with bags of atmosphere created by the rain,good pov and detail, lovely photo Ian

Hi all

Thanks for your kind comments. With regards to Jack's post, pink foots are winter visitors. These two were unringed and unclipped so i think i will have to put them down as 'unknown origin'!!

Cheers

Ian

the rain is the thing here, very good

Nicely seen and taken Ian, well executed to take advantage of the conditions and for once in your favour..

The rain is great and really makes the image. I do find the goose-head a bit too centered though.

Very nice indeed Ian, the subdued light and rain enhances this image no end.

Hi Ian,

Really like this, nice expression from the goose and like the colour added by the thistles! The rain tops it off!

Cheers,

Lewis.
