Nap Time

Not a big canadien goose fan. But I suppose only because they are so common, with many no longer even bothering to migrate from Massachusetts. :cool:

So on the photo, I like how Mom is oof, and she becomes "background" to the tiny beaks and closed eyes of the goslings. They stirred every few minutes to nuzzle more tightly into the pile, for warmth I guess. And this was the best of the lot. ie: most eyes and beaks showing.

Wild, taken spring of 07, next to the pond on the campus of Pine Manor College, Brookline, MA.

Thoughts?

At least some points for "cute factor"? :o

Thanks for viewing and Happy Shooting!

Like the composition and OFF factor. May be little more spcae on the top?

Sean,

I nicely seen image. You did well. I would have preferred to see more room at the mom's head and more around the chicks. A bit too tight. The diagonal of the grass and the dark BG are a nice touch. Very graphic and diagonals will bring drama to an image.
