    I captured this image this morning at Lake Mirror in Lakeland, Florida. There is a developing feral population of this goose in Florida. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

    Great portrait of a good looking goose, Joe. Sharp as a tack and spot on exposure. Love the eye contact. Very nice BG as well.

    Lovely shot. perhaps a little more contrast in the plumage would reveal a little more detail.

    Joe you have some super detail and sharpness,think Jon may have a valid point re contrast which might make very good even better.

    Hi Jo I was think ing a little more along these lines - you may think I have overdone it possibly.
