I believe this is a juvenile African Goose. In-camera effect, cloned out (actually patched out) some light spots in the bg and on the water. Used curves and h/s layers. :cool:

Nice image and application, Kerry.
Interesting bird ... nice pose. Only thing that stikes me is, I wish the tip of the bill were a little more defined, but that is minor it is there ... just not all there! ;)
Kerry, You are the king of this theme! I love the details and lighting. I might tone down the whites just a bit so they don't draw your eye as much. I also might take a small slice off the left if it were mine. Reminds me of a Greater White- fronted goose.
Very nice, Kerry. You're too good at this chiaroscuro effect! :) Love the pose and lighting. Would just take a slice off the left as Denise suggested.
Kerry, I find this extraordinarily beautiful … the pose of the goose which seems to be saying "look at me" and the wonderful ripples in the water.
Very well done...like the pose and the PP..TFS
Nice pose Kerry, I might try more S/H to increase the effect. Think a crop from the left might make it more off center and stronger.
