    Default Snow Goose with purple background

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    Taken at Bosque this past December 2018.There are many beautiful backgrounds in Bosque! This is in the same area as my last snow goose image just a couple of feet higher and the BG is the Chupadera Mountains.
    5DMK4
    ISO 1250 F 5.6 SS 1/1250
    Crop to 70% FF, LR CC and Photoshop CC. Nothing added or cloned.Reduced yellows in the whites because the belly was yellow from reflection of yellow cornstalks below.
    Comments and critiques always appreciated and learned from with thanks,

    Very nice. The fully out stretched wings are nice. The background is excellent.

    Attractive color and exposure on the goose.. You have some BG posterization, may be just compression or maybe I look
    for it since I fight it constantly in processing. Not sure why, it is not just under or over exposing, sometimes certain colors
    just do it..., maybe some tech guys could explain.

    Sweet as can be. Perfect outstretched wings, soft light, and a killer BKGR.

    Really sweet wing position and an amazing background. The underwings have a bit of grain on my screen and the background could benefit from some noise reduction. I think this is another one of those things that vary depending on what screen the image is being viewed on.

    Hi Gail, killer flight pose showing the full wingspread, and overall excellent exposure on the whites. Tack sharp, and a BG to die for.

    It looks like this location has many opportunities, and one just has to be picky on what you want to come away with.
