I made this at Middle Creek earlier this month and think they were practicing for a talent show. :)

Yes it does look like they are all lining up for their turn.
An interesting field they are feeding in. I wonder if it is purpose planted for the geese headed north.

Hehehe, dancing for sure. Love the EXP and compo except for the foot and bill merge.

Just like Fabs I'm not crazy about the foot/bill merge, but the rest of the image is quite good.

Axel, very interesting image. Holds the viewer's attention for a while. Liked the soft light a lot.

This is a rather larger Wildlife Management Area. The purpose is to help migrating Snow Geese and Tundra Swans. I'm not sure if it is normal grassland or if the grow it for the geese.

Interesting, the bill/foot merge is what I like best about it. :)

Nice one Axel. The whites perfectly exposed showing good detail against a nice dark BG.
