Snow Goose and RWBs

[RichardCurtin]

Photographed at Bosque (farm loop) last week. This snow goose had joiined a flock of Red Winged Blackbirds (identity crisis??). Had already set manual exposure for the Geese. 1DMkIII, 500mm + 1.4x, ISO 800, 1/3200 @ f10 Manual, no flash.

Unusual and great! Love the situation and the great exposure contorl! Bg and light are nice as well! Congratualitons!

Not your typical shot. Makes you wonder what the snow goose might have been thinking at that moment? To me, this is a picture that tells a story. Cloning that one RW bird from the goose's chest would make the goose stand out stronger, I think. Nice job.

Needs a little CW rotation to level out the B/G, like the contrast between the birds and the fact there's only one goose makes this image work for me.

Nice work.

Very unique image. It's a study of contrast. dark vs. light and many vs. one. I like it.

[Juan Aragonés]

Very nice combination of species. Night light and composition. I really like this image.

[Trey Barron]

I like it. I might be tepted to clone out the RWBB in front of the goose, but either way nice and a bit different.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great find, the snow goose really makes this one for me. I agree on CW rotation and might be tempted to clone out the clipped blackbirds.
