African Goose

Another vagrant at Lake Morton in Lakeland, Florida. These unusual birds just seem to show up, most likely an escapee from somewhere. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

You got some great detail here Joe.....Good control of the blacks on the bill against the whites on the ring of feathers....Perfect HA ...I may reduce the greens in the BG but nice as is...

Spot on Joe for me!

Hi Joe ... a nice tight head shot .
Does look good overall , for the most part . Nice details and sharpness .
Personally I am not too excited about the obvious cyans showing up ... think you are not able to identify them as easy as I can .

Nice work Joe and TFS Andreas

Hi Andreas, thank you for viewing and commenting. No, I can't identify the cyans, but I think I know where they came from. The bird was in the shade and I am sure there was blue in the light available. Where do you see them?

After taking another look I now see the cyan. Here is a repost with the cyan removed. Concentrating too much on the trees and couldn't see the forest, thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Very nice portrait indeed, with lots of good details. The cyans are in most of the whites, especially the neck and also the line between the eye and bill.

Thanks Dan, I saw the cyans after looking for them. Hopefully all fixed now.
