    Cute image, but a lower shooting angle would be more pleasing.

    I rate it a 9.9 on the cuteness scale!

    ;-)

    Great catch. While you were about on eye level with them, as Paul mentioned, even a few inches lower could change the perspective on this shot quite a bit.

    I had to take the shot quick. The geese here have been known to attack people (my husband and 4 yr old were attacked once for no reason) and I had my 4 yr old and my 1yr old at my side. These geese were very close and my 4 yr old was near panic when I shot this. So really it was take the shot and get the kids out of there deal.

    Glad you guys think its cute It reminds me of the aristocats lol

    Here is the full image. I cropped out the feet behind the geese. There were a lot of people around, if I had crouched down, I would have gotten them in it too so I actually like it like this so theres nothing in back.

    Talking It reminds me of the aristocats lol

    Yes it does!

    After looking at the full image, let me say that you did a great job with the crop.

    I understand having the kids with you - it adds a whole new dimension to trying to take photo's. You did a great job under the circumstances.
