Nice pose. I believe that it is a blue morph Snow Goose. A decent crop from behind and the top would move the bird nicely into the upper right third. I love the look at the bird's face and the detail on the dorsal surface of the near wing.

I think Arty has covered this pretty well. Nice work Don.
Lovely pose and great BG
Agree with the cropping Artie has suggested
TFS
I like the wing position, BG, sharpness and how the head just clears the wing. Nice image Don.
