Hi Nicolas: This is a fine looking image and you have handled the exposure and composition well as far as I'm concerned. The whites and blacks look great and I can see detail at your focus points, which by the way work well for me in that you've isolated the head, shoulders and tail and everything else is in blurry motion. Also, the goose is looking toward you which is always nice. To top it off, a beautiful sky background and no annoying shadows. Nice job!

I'm with Danny on this one. Very nice. Only thing is that I wish we could see the tips of all the far wing's black primaries (in other words, the wing in a higher position)...

You've been having quite a field day with these Snow Geese!!

Nicolas, I like this image. The white on blue BG always works for me.
