Egyptian Goose in full flight

[Stu Bowie]

Hi All, I seem to be spending my sweet light mornings, running, instead of going to photograph. At least I'm going out. I managed to capture this Egyptian goose flying towards me against a sweet BG at my local pond in Pretoria. Taken early morning

I really like hte eyes and this head on shot really makes them the focus of the image. Nice work!

[Jim Crosswell]

Good to see you posting again Stu. I like the complimentary BG, composition and how the eyes pop with this coming at you POV.

[Brian Sump]

Stu, good to see ya dropping in!

So yeah, no major nits here other than I'd like to see this species one day. Light looks a bit high but still presents well.

As mentioned, the eyes really pop. TFS!
