In my series on species that people don't like (only joking), here is a Canada Goose gosling from the Sackville Waterfowl Park. There are five of them and they seem to be growing like weeds.
Small crop from right hand side and top. Eye was selectively lightened a little and the flash catchlight was removed.

Hi John,
Very nice details of the fine feathers around the head. I like your chosen crop and the overall soft feel of the gosling was very well captured.
