Canadian Goose Gosling

[Andreas Liedmann]

Hi folks another one from yesterday ... taken in shadow surroundings .

Love the feeding " process" when those goslings are fiddling to feed on " large " pieces of food .
Even F8 was not enough to get the head and the beak sharp in capture .... had to play trickery with the beak to add some fake sharpness , does look simply better than the original . But cannot cope with real sharpness .
The white flower blob in front of the Gosling might be not ideal ....

Shame about the depth of field issue, but I don't think it's possible to get it all sharp no matter what the f-stop when you're head on so close. Nice feeding timing, flower not ideal but natural so not a deal breaker for me

Excellent IQ at ISO6400 Andreas, the HA is a bit quirky which I feel works with the age of subject. Bold and vibrant colours and I like the daisy's peppering the habitat. Perhaps some dogging/burning on the head to add a hint more form, ditto luniostiy on the tongue???? With the shape of the body perhaps going tighter with the 1.4 may have offered a stronger comp?

Excellent details on the face, Andreas. Flower in front of chest is a bummer, but the setting is fun. I'd like more room to the left of the bird.

Love he expression on the duckling and the open bill is a plus! I do wish the flower in the chest wasn't there, but I like the surroundings. Nice work!

Thanks folks for your kind comments , much appreciated .

For those who do not like the flower ... I am with you , but it was there

Steve - your suggestions might be worth a try .

Cheers Andreas
