    While shooting Gulls at a wetlands a little while back, this Egyptian goose flew past the front of my lens, and I couldnt resist a grab shot, as they fly pretty fast.

    What a great grab shot Stuart! The pose with the full down stroke of the wings and the side profile of the head looks great and gives us a perfect look at this Goose. The techs, color, and details look killer and the facial area really pops off the screen.
    A perfect comp and a smooth complementary BG make for one of my favorites from you. Very Nice flight shot.

    For a "grab" shot, you nailed every element here. Love the colors, wing position, BG, and the sharp red eye. I have no idea how beautiful these Geese are. Well one. Loi

    Looking pretty sweet! I love the details you were able to retain on the whites. I also really like the full down wing stroke. Pretty good grab shot!
