I liked the BG on this image, along with the fanned tail, sure wish i had stopped those wings. Bird was flying into the golden cornfield below...

I really like the pose and dont mind the blurred wing tips . Was this a crop ? It doesn't seem to have as much detail as your shots usually do. Also I am pretty sure that is a blue goose.

Frozen wings would certainly been better but I would be very happy with this.
A lot to like, the detail seems fine, the pose is good and the light and BG is exceptional.
I give it 3 1/2 out of 5 stars...

Terrific pose and great background. I don't mind the wing blur, but might try just a tad more sharpening on the head. A Blue Goose is a Dark-morph Snow Goose, to the best of my knowledge.

Love the Background and Postion of the bird in the frame. Wish for better wing position. I don’t Mind the motion blur in the wing tip.

Lovely colours and composition Ann, I like the image.... but the head isn't quite sharp enough, I am unsure if the focus is spot on or perhaps there is a little subject movement?? I suspect the latter, I too think not quite as much detail as some of your other images.

I like an amount of blur in the wing tips as long as the face is sharp, so this works well for me. Nice colours and BD, good to have a clear view of the head

I don't mind the wing blur just wish the near wing was in a better position. I like the flight angle and that sweet BG. Nice image Ann.

[John Mack]

Like the two toned background and the pose on the bird. Wish the bird was higher in the frame.

This is really nice Ann. Love the wing position and the 2 toned BG.
Do you have more room on the bottom?
Yes to another round of sharpening on the head.

I like the dynamic pose bit the image looks soft to my eye, especially the head.
