Not sure what kind of goose he is but I liked all the colors together
PS - I like it on the darker side. Is that ok or should I lighten? Opinions welcomed

Hi Denise,
I too love the colours - they do work really well together. As for lightening the goose, I think that it is up to you. It is your picture and if you like it then that is all that matters!! Personally I like the subtle subdued feeling that this image has.

I can also go either way but just a tad lighter would be my preference. The one thing I would like to see different is framing Do like the water a lot and would include but by waiting for the goose to be near it. Not difficult to move those guys around if you know what I mean !!! :)
Love the colours in the water Denise. My taste would be to make the goose a little lighter. Love the ripple reflections of the water on the goose. Very pretty!

Hi Denise - take them a little bread they will be all over you - you will need your extension tubes.
Bit lighter for me as well.
:)
Excellent colors and your subject is sharp. I would take a little of the top and add a little canvas in front of the subject.
Regards,
Lady Denise,
I like the capture, you have good head angle and eye contact, the details on the white feathers are good. I would have liked to have seen this created in a horizontal capture. Your subject is a bit too tight in frame. I made a few changes to the basic composition to illustrate my points. I added canvas to the left and right of the frame to give this fellow some room. I cropped 1/4 from the top to take some of the negative space out; yet leaving just the right amount of color patterns in the water to enhance and frame nicely the subject. I lightened the whites in the feathers, and lightened the eye area and sprinkled selective sharpening on the eye, and the outer contour of the wings. I lightened the background just a tad, increased saturation a wee bit and boosted the contrast...see if this presents better to you...:):cool:

Gus, Thanks looks great. I did shoot it horizontally- just liked the long crop. Guess it would have worked better if it was turned more
Hi Denise:
Lovely photo. My personal preference would be lighter.
