late arrival juvenile snow goose

[Bob Smith]

There was a very good survival of the hatch in 2009, with a large percentage of juveniles in the flock that nests on Wrangell Is. in the Arctic Ocean north of Siberia.

Bob:
I like the story/info. Looks pretty crowded there! The crowd however makes it a tougher shot. Ideally, if you could have caught the landing bird against the background, while keeping the flock in the frame, it would have worked better IMO.

Exposure looks good, and sharp as well.

Cheers

Quite the crowd indeed! The landing pose of the main bird is good. Ditto Randy's critique.
