Another day shooting birds

Out for a walk at a near by lake with my Dad
Please tell me what you think.

Look good to me.

How did you shoot the first one? Or the goose just ran fast?

Nice reflection in the second one. Good and interesting perspective for the third one. Could improve the contrast a bit though.

Have you posted them on Nature and Wildlife Forum?

[Shooter Tiff]

Just not a very graceful take off I guess

The third image is the killer for me. I just wish you had all of the shadow in the frame.

That last one is the winner for me. You can see the ancestry, looks like a Trex coming in for the kill.

I agree about the shadow. needs a fraction more on the bottom of the picture.

I really like all of these shots. The last one is definitely the cream of the crop! A more trained eye picked up on the shadow...I didn't. The middle one is really great too...i wonder if you couldn't clone out the extra reflection though...the second layer of his head just for a crisper appearance? Nice work!

Thank you all for taking the time to look!
I got back as much space under the shadow as I could and fixed the colors a bit
How is this one?

I like what you've done with the shadow, it is a good improvement.

I find the color a little on the flat side. Perhaps adding a bit of saturation would help bring the colors out a bit.

But one thing for sure, that goose has personality!

Your right it is still flat.
I have a hard time figuring out how far to go before it looks over done
How's this?

These are all very good,Tiff. I agree the last one is most intriguing. Your final edit is right on the nail. Excellent shot. Not easy to get typical bird shots to look not so typical, but your unique perspective and great composition brought this one and the rest home for the keep.
Great work!

Isn't that the truth, how much is too much, and how little is to little. I think it's a *HUGE* improvement to a fantastic shot!

Thank you all very much for the help
