Here's a photo of a Ross's Goose flying through classic Bosque habitat; winter foliage up top and thousands of snow geese down below.

Great posture, background and sharpness - lovely image! Small suggestion: Perhaps bring out the details a slight bit more on the primaries with shadow/highlight tool?

[Keith Bauer]

Great shot. Love the wing position and quality of light on the bird. The background is a nice addition to the shot. As Chris noted, maybe there is a little more detail in the primaries??

Lovely BG and detail in the whites, Doug. A little more in the darks would be nice if possible as noted. I really like all the OOF birds on the ground.

Hey Doug,
I really like the includsion of the blurred flock. This really adds to the feel.....especially for those of us who have been there.

Great pose, BG and details. I agree regarding the shadows and might increase the color temperature a few degrees.

I like the colors in the bakground and the placment of the bird. Great details in the whites.

Looks good to me, really like the inclusion of the blurred Geese below.

Beautiful Doug! Nice pose, BG and great exposure! So!? Why my pictures don't look like yours? :) Cheers!

Thanks for the suggestions and compliments. Here's a repost where I try to pull a little more detail out of the primaries.
