A Christmas (Ross's) Goose

[Doug Brown]

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to everyone on BPN! This goose was photographed this morning at the Bosque.

Canon 1D Mark III, 840mm, f/7.1, 1/5000, ISO 800, -1/3 EC, no flash, hand held

Very nice light, wing position and eye contact. I might accentuate the catchlight a bit more.

Here's a repost. The original was processed on my laptop. Here's one processed on my desktop.

They both look excellent. Love the underwing detail, the soft light, and the sharpness. Wish that we could see a bit more of the far wing. Exactly where?

[Doug Brown]

Exactly where?

Right where you make the turn west at the north end of the farm loop.

[Trey Barron]

Looks good. I prefer the light in the eye but nice detail on both.

[Roman Kurywczak]

Hey Doug,
Either one works for me....but the brighter catchlight is perfection.

[Sid Garige]

Very nice job with wing position and exposure Doug.
