    Mital:

    Sharp, with very nice separation from BG, 3D effect.
    I like the framing, drip off foot,catchlight.
    Would prefer bill not to merge with wing, but it remains distinct here.

    Nice

    Cheers

    Mital, very nice indeed. Lovely pose and exposure. Agree with Randy's comments.

    A tad more room above and front, if u have in orig, might make it better.

    Mital, nice capture. I like the wing position but as Randy said it would have been better if the bill was not overlapping with the wings. I also agree that a slightly more space for the goose to land into would have been great.

    Nice gliding pose and dangling feet. Nice BG. I agree with comp suggestion. Two merges I wish weren't: wing/bill (for sure), and wing/tail (to a lesser extent).

    Nice landing pose Mital. Good light, detail and eye contact. Another vote for slightly more room.

    This is wicked mate, I've never seen them flying locally, though we have quite a few around. Well captured and I love the BG. :)
