A classic Bosque goose! Nice capture and I like the composite work. Lots of geometry going on with the diagonals of the wings and waves bisected by the line of the head and neck. Very cool!
I definitely like this as a black & white. Good composition, too. The goose is not only located nicely within the frame very well with regard to the lines in the background. It's easy to imagine the background lines as air currents, and that gives the image more than visual impact.
Very nice, and great eye contact! You probably tried it, but I wonder about just a very small amount more contrast on the BG.
That water bkgd is so great I'm glad you used it again! Great Snow Goose in flight with good details and wing pose and very well composed into the image.
Something so peaceful about this. Great contrast between sharp bird and soft bg (which I love). I really like this one.
Great image, Gary! I love the undulating lines in the background, the position of the goose and your choice of black and white. Nicely done:S3:
