Greylag Goose
Hello,

Blessed with some more nice lighting recently - caught this Greylag taking a drink, placed intentionally high in the frame to capture the reflection and space for him to look down into. Small crop off top otherwise FF.

techs.
D3 + 500 VR f4 + Gitzo & gimbal as low as it would go
1/400 sec at f10 - 1/3 EV

cheers for looking

Colin

I like the lighting on this, Colin, and you were right to place it so high in the frame.

Yes some nice lighting Colin along with the pose.
Perhaps lighten it slightly as overall it looks a bit dark on my screen.
