Although we consider these Egyptian geese common, annoying, and loud, they always seem to produce great inflight, or incoming poses. This was taken at my local pond 2 weekends ago.

Looking good Stuart. Like the wing spread, raised feet, and pointed head. Not that you needed it but glad to see you got a new camera to play with.

Stunnig shot. I just love the wing position, wonderful light, the calm water makes a great background, and excellent feather detail.
Well done.

Stu you are producing some really high quality images here, great stuff! I love the pose and the techs are spot, a really pleasing image.

Very nice Stuart!!
I like the bands of color in the water.
Great pose (love the feet and fanned tail)and light as well.
Comp is excellent as well.

He he, what you describe about this species is similar to our Canada Goose here :-) Excellent pose, colours, techs. Not crazy about the darkish band directly underneath the subject (wondering what caused that?), but all else looks super.

Killer landing pose and light, Stuart. The BG really complements the bird.

Stuart:
Sharp, well exposed, love the feet up pose. I was concerned when looking at the thumbnail that the head /body merge wouldn't work well, but in the full size image, there is good separation.
Cheers

Another terrific shot, Stuart. Very nice pose and details.
You always seem to get great BG's to go with these guys.

Your shots always seem to have so much great detail - this is no different. Would be nice if the head were just a little bit higher, but that is nitpicking. Wing detail is top-notch.
