On my way home tonight--one last stop with the snow geese and setting sun.

repost of the image---I have added canvas as per most everyone's suggestion. Thank you!

Very lovely Bonnie. I love the downward stroke, and good comp - pano was a good choice. I like the different colours in the BG, but you could tone down the small brighter part that is touching the primaries.

Very nice light, pose, detail, BG, colors and exposure, I like the pano crop but would´ve left a bit more room all arround. Congratualitons!

I'm with Ramon on this one Love the pano crop but a little tight !!! Love the bold colors and pose !!!

Beautiful pose, excellent exposure, and stunning lighting Bonnie. Really like the pano crop !!! Thanks for sharing.

Cool pose and details. Maybe a bit less saturation?

Hi Bonnie, What a creative way to present this image, love the pano crop. The bit of motion blur on the wing tips keeps it from feeling static. Lovely light and nice eye contact. I too vote for a bit more room on top for him (or her!)

Thanks, everyone for your comments on this one. I had already added a bit of canvas at the bottom--but I will give it even more room.
Axel--about the saturation...I am having problems getting my PS image to look the same on the web these days. This has never happened before. My image as I see it in PS is not as saturated, but when I upload it it becomes more saturated than I would prefer. I have calibrated my monitor--and the image is of course converted to srgb.
I have a new monitor, so I am assuming it is to blame--but so far I haven't discovered how to correct this. I have been posting for years and never had this problem before. Any answers???

Gorgeous light and wing position. Very inspiring work.

Hmm...spectacular! Nothing like sweet light and a great background! You did very well to freeze the action at that shutter speed:-)
