Great colse up. This must have been a difficult shot to expose but I like that you still have detail in the feathers.

I love these birds we have his/her cousin at a country park near to where we live. Beautifully captured Graham.

This is a really impressive portrait. Great angle and composition. I know it's a big ask under such contrasty conditions, but I do wish there was a little bit of detail in the very brightest highlights. Still a good one, though.

Beautiful goose, almost surreal, reminds me of a holy goose I once saw in a church...
