Simple Image from Bosque.

The Background colors are reflections of distant Trees (Fall Colors). I toned down the colors quite a bit.

Did try to remove any color casts on the Bird.

Let me know your thoughts and comments.

Thanks

Knew I'd love this from the thumbnail. Love the composition, EXP, light and HA. The BG looks great. TFS

I like the goose but am not sure about the color in the BG. This is purely a personal taste thing.
I like your comp.
IQ looks good. Good HA.
Nice details in the white plumage.
I feel like you could increase the exposure by about 1/3 of a stop ( protecting the brightest whites ) and still keep the whites OK.
Good solid portrait,
Gail

Krishna ,I have looked at this a few times over the last few days. Real nice. Whites look good and I like the soft colors of the background. Very interesting.

Solid portrait with nice details. Wonder what the background would be like with out it toned down so much.

Thank you all for the comments.

I like almost everything about this, Krishna. The only thing I would have done is raise the lens by an inch or two and add a touch more saturation to the BG.
