    Hey Roger, nice one but there's a shadow from a wave or something at the very top that messes with the hood on the top goose. JMHO.

    Roger - They're alright, but probably lack a punchline so to speak. Nothing technically wrong, but it's so hard to get shots like this to stand out.. they always seem to be a 5/10. Hey, you tried.

    GB, John,

    Thanks for looking.

    Just getting back into Wildlife - Haven't taken any for ages and still getting used to the equipment

    The dark shadow is a combintation of a wave and a carbon fibre mast reflecting on the water. Some people have more money than sense!

    Re: Geese

    I love it. They're so sharp and clear. I can see with a lower contrast monitor how the top goose + the wave's shadow could look odd, but in my monitor I never even thought about it for a second until it was pointed out.

    I really like the head positions of the geese.
