    Default Greater White-fronted Goose

    This handsome goose made me the courtesy of posing on top of a ridge, allowing for a nice low POV without leaving the car; approaching them on foot proved almost impossible (they are hunted in the area)

    Near Cambridge Bay, Nunavut, June.

    Very nice pose Ignacio, with a great look back. Great composition, color, and nice OOF BG. Love the touch of color with the wildflowers on the ground.

    Really beautiful detail and colors, Ignacio. Nice job getting the goose sharp from beak to tip of tail. I love the splotches of purple flowers, they add a lot.

    Wow, this is very good Ignacio. The flowers and grasses really help this and the complimentary BG is excellent.

    Love the soft light and creamy background! Very nice pose and sharpness, and the flowers add a nice touch. Maybe just a bit more room at the bottom?

    impressive, the goose is perfectly captured
    lovely Background colour, the purple flowers add a lot of flavour to the image.
    Nicely done

    Neat goose and I like the alert posture it gave you. The vegetation and flowers along the bottom are very nice. I realize you were in a car but I'm wondering if you would have been able to get a couple of inches higher to prevent the OOF FG stuff from covering that awesome layer of vegetation at lower left? As posted I would also lighten the current rflection in the eye to make it more alive, and perhaps add a bit of canvas above. All else looks great.
