Barnacle Goose

[Hillebrand Breuker]

At the moment 10.000's Geese in the Netherlands. We have about 6 or 7 species wintering over here. Sometimes we see some rarities, but this one is common.

I wish I had a bit more lught to screw down the iso

30D, 500/4 IS + 1.4 tc, iso 800, F5.6, 1/800s

Normally I like to see this type of image tighter but in this case I like the muted colors and BG layering of those colors, it works great as presented.

The bird is a bit unsharp though to me on my monitor. The bird's head looks too red.

Nice pose and great colours! The picture is kind of noisy though. I would run some NR and selectively sharpen the bird.
