Egyptian Goose

[David Cowling]

Caught this goose preening in nice light. They are a much maligned bird but I think their feathering is beautiful.

Lovely image David. Nice feather detail and colours on the bird and I love the pose. I would crop less on LHS.

Nice one

David agree with Will some more on the left would have been good, detail and colour on the feathers is lovely.

Nice light on the head. Nice overall details but I find it a little tight in the frame. I wish you had more room at the left and top.

[David Cowling]

Thanks Will, Keith and Karl. Here is a RP with a looser crop.

Hi David, lovely preening pose, and the colours on the head are spot on. Im seeing a bit of a blue cast on the near wing feathers, probably from the rich blues of the water. Comp wise, I would still have more space on the LHS.

nice details, it's a bit too large in the frame and a better HA would be have been nice (the birds head is slightly turned away from us)

I like the preening pose, details, sharpness and water color. Nice image David.
