Canada Geese Blur

Took this image today 3 minutes from my home.

Mike, I'm glad you decided to post this one. The blue sky is lovely and the blurred angel wings are nice. I do wish the lead goose were not cut off but I still like it!

[Eric Virkler]

Very nice image. The degree of blurring on the wings looks great. Not much you can do on the fly, but I would have preferred the top bird and the lead bird not cut off. Would you mind posting the specs and the lighting condition for this shot?

Thanks.

Very nice blur, Mike. I love the grouping of the birds and the motion of the wings. A pity about the two cutoff birds, might want to remove them.

Mike, very nice blur against that blue sky. I have to say that the cut off head really detracts from the image. It would not be that difficult to add blue canvas and repair that bird as well as the one that goes out of frame at the top. If you use Photoshop, you can use the "clone source" panel to rotate the clone source, so you could copy a wing tip and add it to that one. The head transplant would be even easier. I think this image is definitely worthy of some work like that as the basic capture is super!

Hi Mike,
Love the amount of blur here. Agree with the others on the lead goose being cut, but as Kerry suggests it is an easy fix.

Neat! Great effect of those wings. Just the right amount of blur. Agree with Kerry's suggestions.
