Landing goose

[Alfred Forns]

Farm loop at Bosque in the afternoon Had to use a 2x in order to get the birds landing in good sun angle and used the trees dividing the fields as bg.

Comments welcome and much appreciated

Wonderful image Alfred! The light is beautifull along with the backround. You caught the head just right based on the wing position. Well done!!

[Richard Waas]

I can't wait for Bosque this December. If I can take pictures half as good as this, I'll be ecstatic. Congrats!!

Perfect exposure:
Dialed in Manual---->sunny 16 @ IS0 400 and you made shutter faster that norman (1/1600) to help produce texture in the whites.

Just look at that feather detail with a 2X TC,..WOW,....you da man!!

One of the these that really works for me is the richness and complementariness of the colors throughout the image. They tie together wonderfully.
Quite simply, this is beautiful

Really like this image, love the calm shell wing with head peaking out, excellent. Maybe it's just my eyes, but the head seem not to be as sharp as the feet.

Excellent composition, image and capture...the color rendition and feel is off the scale...well done Mr. Forns...:cool:

[Bob Miller]

Hi Alfred:

I really like this pic, the light is superb and really warm. I also like the look of the goose and the position of the wings that shown the nice feathers. Very well done.

I'm looking forward for the next one.

Bye,
