    Default "Goosing" of the swan - take two!

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    This is a follow up the image posted a few days ago, of a young swan being 'goosed' by an adult and chased across the lake at our local bird sanctuary.

    Post: rotated image, added canvas sup, and left, crop from below, lightened the shadows on the back bird, warmed up the water a bit.

    I particularly liked the spray coming off the wing of the juvi, and felt the wing position and open bill gave a better sense of the drama going on.

    As always, your critiques and comments are appreciated.

    Cheers

    Nice action Randy, well exposed, sharp of course. Like the canopy of wings for the gooser. Would like to see a little more room on top.

    Killer action/behavior, Randy, and I think I like this one even better than the last. The water spray is better, and I like the position of the "gooser's" head.

    Action is wonderfully captured
    I like the sharpness on this one and the water going all around in sprays , just looks wonderful to the eye
    The exposure looks spot on .
    Nice series you have here
