Egyptian geese are known for tormenting each other. Here is typical behaviour as a past time. Taken a while back at the grounds of the University of Pretoria.
Pretty dramatic action and great details. I wish the splash wouldn't cover so much of the bird in the water and I would tone down the whites on the far wing more.
Agree with the wing being too hot...it's the first thing I noticed. It is a shame that the second bird is so covered by the water splash but you sure got an action image with that top bird! I really like the colors of the water, too...it really compliments the colors of the main goose.
Love the fact that the loser is diving for safety! Amazing head angle on the attacker.

Action well captured Stu. Colour looks a bit off on my screen and pity about the exposure on the whites. What time was this, the light looks a bit harsh?
