D90; 80-400 VR @ 400mm. ISO 1600, f/5.6 @ 1/1600s. 0EV. HH. 20% crop.

From last year's crop of Canada goslings at the local lake. (This is what the hawk was fixated on , in case you saw my Red-tailed post of 3/26.) C&C welcome. (Should I clone out the oof bud on his bill?)

Extremely cute. Nice fine detail and like the dof. I would try to clone out the bud on the beak and maybe the 2 blades of grass touching its cheek.

Hi Bill - cute for sure!! Lovely fine details - the bud that obscures part of the beak is the only thing that distracts - IMHO, sure you could also take the blades of grass as well.
Exposure looks good - good eye contact.
Like it.

Hi Bill, When ever I shot in grass seems this always crops up. Nice exposure, grass can be a nice metering tool. Might clone some, just a bit. Like the shot and sweet mood - TFS.

Hi Bill - Other than cloning the bud and the blades of grass that pop up by the head, the image is very, very nice.
Cheers

Hi Bill, Nice image with good detail. Agree about cloning the bud and the other blades. Should make for a stronger image.

Lovely image, it's very cute. Agree about the need to clone out the grass.
