Snow Goose Says Hello

[Doug Brown]

At our recent Bosque workshop, on day 1 there was still color on many of the trees. Within a few short days things browned up noticeably. But even brown leaves can produce a nice BG. I lightened one dark area in the BG in post.

Hi Doug, another great hand held capture against a great BG. Exposure and sharpness both good, and the open beak adds to the flight pose. Nothing wrong with brown leafy BG's. :w3

Nice timing and great wing position. BG compliments the subject and makes it pop.
Great exposure.

Well done. I rarely saw a south or east wind in the mornings in almost two weeks... Was this morning?

We had mostly north winds, but were blessed with one good morning of wind direction. That's when this was taken Artie.
