After looking at a few of the extreme weather shots posted in the last few days, here in one taken on a warmer Bosque day in November of this year, along the North end of the Farm Loop.

1D IV, 800mm + 1.4x, 1/2000 @ f8, ISO 320.

An excellent Bosque Snow Goose.
Could be a postcard from the Refuge
Very nice.

[Joe Senzatimore]

Sure , throw salt in the wound. Stunning image with a killer BG. Nice position on the Goose.

[Grace Scalzo]

Lovely! The background is about as pretty as it gets.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Wow this is excellent. Perfect exposure, and love the fiery BG. Great pose and the comp is spot on. I get the feeling that as posted the head and feet could use a tiny bit more sharpening, but man this is quite an appealing image!!

Superb work James...Loved the pose, BG and exposure...This is dream image..

[Dan Busby]

Spot on James. And with a lot of glass! Great BG, pose and exposure. Maybe a tad more sharpening on head and feet.

[Dave Leroy]

Great looking pose and bg. and light angle can't get much better.

[Roger Clark]

James,
Beautiful. It is so nice when it all comes together, the subject with head and body angle, the background, the light, the angle of the light (phase angle), exposure, focus. Very well done!

[arash_hazeghi]

awesome dynamic pose and a nice BG. head looks a bit soft to me, perhaps more sharpening?

[Jamie Douglas]

Excellent work. Agree with Arash about the head though.
