Blue Goose

Another Bosque image from this season. No shadow on the face this time! I like the complete shadow of the bird's head on the far wing. BG is distant mountains.



Canon 1D Mark IV, 600mm + 1.4x, f/7.1, 1/3200, ISO 400, manual exposure, hand held

Looks great!! Love it!

Doug:

Excellent separation from background, pose, sharpness, yes to nice shadow, as they usually get clipped. Angle was just right.

I might try a version with the bird slightly higher in the frame, just how it struck me.

Cheers

great flight angle..Comp looks good with place for the wings to extend to the top. Lovely wing position and image quality...superb image Doug

Nice blurred background, sharp as a tack.

Boy I wish I could HH a 600mm with a 1.4xt and get a shot as good as this!!

Lovely pose with nice outstretched wings and distinct shadow.

Nice job on the exposure on what must have been fairly strong light.

I like Randy's suggestion of a bit higher in frame.

Very nice complimentary bg.

Lovely photo.

Back ground colors perfectly compliment the goose. I like the shadow as well as the determined look on his face. Agree about moving him up in the frame a tad.

Great IQ Doug, and I like the flying posture with the forward wings. Tack sharp with good detail throughout, and I do like that BG. Well captured.

great flight image

A beautiful flight shot. Great wing position, detail, flight angle and BG. Personally I like the comp just as presented.

[Mike Milicia]

Great wing position and flight angle, with excellent techs and BG!
Shadow is the icing on the cake!

Excellent Dough, love the light, flight angle and dynamic wing position

Many thanks for the comments and suggestions. I'll try a recrop with the bird placed slightly higher in the frame.
