Goose Blur

[Alfred Forns]

From Bosque at the Farm Loop, found some birds moving between fields and moving close to the cottonwoods. Went with a slow shutter speed to blur out the not too distant bg.

Comments welcome and much appreciated

Alfred...Agree with Denise about the backround color, blur and placement of the subject. A well handled image!

Hey Al,
Love the cottonwoood BG....and you are making me a believer in the blurs! Very nicely done!

[Gus Cobos]

Well composed and executed...the motion blur is superb...and the rich, bold color hues of the background makes your subject stand out...I like this...congrats...:cool:

Way to go Al, this blur gives the impression of panic in the bird almost tells a story...head is just in focus enough....congrats

[Julie Kenward]

Al, how do you manage to get the bird's head to be in focus when everything else is so nicely blurred? Any pointers for us?

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Yes how do you manage to get a sharp eye?? Lots of shots??? Love the colour of the BG and the whites on the bird look nice and white.
