Another subliminal reference to the gorgeous liquid import form the Emerald Isle, I see. I think more royalties will be due, :biggrin: :wink: Is that you I can see reflected in the eye? An excellent portrait in both cases. :biggrin: :wink:

Good one Maggie.

Maggie, nice shot, good detail but I might prefer a portrait crop. :smile:

Nice simple portrait. I disagree about the format as you would lose the reflections on the water. I think Canada geese are very photogenic.

Nice portrait Maggie - not quite an eye-level job but a nice image all the same. :wavey: :wavey:
