I went to the local pond in Pretoria on saturday morning, and came away with this Egyptian goose in flight. The BG is distant OOF trees.

This is excellent ,Stuart.I love the general posture of the bird ,with the head separated from the wing,the awesome underwing detail and the water droplets on the body. WD
Sweet light, gorgeous BG, and a great calling pose with good eye contact. I might back off slightly on the sharpening, and I'd try to bring up the darks a bit.

Marvelous image.I liked the under-wing detail, the water droplets on the body and nice BG which has created beautiful color scheme.
It looks like lovely light and an excellent choice for a bg.
I really like the nice pose and particularly the head with nice eye and open bill.
Well done on a very photogenic bird.
