Egyptian Goose

[Geoffrey Montagu]

Captured this image last year near Duma Tau camp in Botswana. This was a very overcast day with some of the most unusual light I've seen. Wanted to keep it as close to what I saw. C&C welcome.

D500, Sigma 150-600mm C @ 370mm, 1/2500s, f 6.3, ISO 2500, Hand Held.

Love the soft light and the water. Both are complimentary and help to highlight the colors and details in this beauty. TFS

[Bill Dix]

Just take a gander at those beautiful colors. I also like the view of the submerged foot.

[John Mack]

Very neat looking goose. Nice details on the goose as well.

I really like the submerged foot and the colors of the goose.
I do wish for a better HA and a bit lower POV but I assume you were in the jeep and could not get lower.

Bill, I see what you did there:t3.

Yes to a lower angle, but fully understand the circumstances of why not. Also yes to a better head angle. I love the rusty feathers, very beautiful. Nice details on the flanks too.

[Geoffrey Montagu]

Thank you all, and yes Gail that's where we were. I would have preferred a bit lower.
