Egyptian Goose

[Dumay de Boulle]

Apparently they are actually ducks, not sure how the Goose part came to be. I think the right wing behind the head might bug some people. Please crit as I would like to improve

Dumay, The head merge does not bother me as there is nice contrast there. Excellent bird angle and placement in the frame. Thx for sharing.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Angle, eye contact and sharpness look great, I only wish wing and head would not overlap. Do you have one in this series with the wings all the way up or down?

[Dumay de Boulle]

Thanks folks...Axel, I do but this was the sharpest of them. I will look again and see if I have a better one

[Nico Steenberg]

Great sharp detail and IQ. Like the pose and bg. Subject is well exposed with good natural colours against a killer bg. Well done !

[Dumay de Boulle]

Thanks Nico...Taken next to you at AR on sunday

[Fabs Forns]

Wing position could be better, agree on that. BG is fair and EXP is good. The eye looks a bit soft to me, maybe due to the weird pupil. TFS.

regarding image really nice wing position noted

[Dumay de Boulle]

Thanks Stuart and Fabs...Axel, I had a couple more. This was the last of the series...They were all sharp only they were coming straight towards me. This one was when it banked

[Stu Bowie]

Hey Dumay, good flight angle, and overall, nice and sharp. I like the colourful BG too. Yep, a better wing position would have been better.
