The epitome of why people are so enamored with reflections. Having only a partial reflection enhances the fact that it is a reflection. Awesome eye to have captured a scene most would have passed by.

If you turn it sideways it looks like either a broken heart or kidneys! :cool:

Nice goose! I like Stan's observation.

This is gorgeous, Joe! Almost zenlike simplicity...I love it!
Seems to be a strong purple cast in the waters, though.

I REALLY love the circular nick and the space made between the body and the neck. I also love the reflection on this one. I do agree with John about the purple cast, I see it also on my monitor.

T-90! :eek: :biggrin:
I like the B&W Joe. Cool shot.

I strongly prefer the b&w version, Joe. That eliminates color as any kind of distraction from the wonderful curves and lines present.

Wow, this is nice, Joe. I love the B&W version.

Like the simple composition and the reflection.

Nice image. O prefer the B&W image too.
It's a CANADA goose, though - no way to tell if he is Canadian! :wink:

Love the comp with the reflection, pose, and ice(?) patterns, though I prefer a color version of somewhere inbetween your two developments... the B&W ain't bad either. Nice job.

I think that the B&W enhances the viewer's focus on the goose's pose and its reflection, so that is my preference over the color version.

Nice repost. Like the posr and the reflection. The surrounding ice adds a nice touch as well.
