Incoming Egyptian goose

[Stu Bowie]

These guys often produce fairly dramatic landing poses, and I thought this was one of them. Extended his right wing tips and added a bit of canvas. Taken at a birding spot in Pretoria last weekend. I realise the shadow is a tad prominent, but have left as is. Cant do much about the streaks in the water either.

Excellent landing pose, fine exposure, and your work adding canvas is seamless. Can't even tell.
