Snow Goose Flight

[Krishna Prasad kotti]

This image was taken in Bosque Del Apache Yesterday Morning at Crane Pools.

I like the full wing position with the curled wing tips.

I like the soft light, BG, wing position and the habitat. the head doesn't look quite sharp to my eye though

Thank you for the comment. It seems sharp to me.

Excellent wing position and framing, Krishna. Lot's to like here. Background is great and the black and white on the bird, while quite challenging, look well handled. Detail seems fine to me but always hard to be sure on these small images. Nice work.

The thumbnail does not do the image justice, I was pleasantly surprise after clicking on it. I like the perfectly parallel flight path. The BG is beautiful overall, but I do feel that the paler grass blade cutting behind the goose's neck is unfortunate. You could tone it down in post.
