Theme - landing Goose

I was scrolling through some images the other day, and thought this would be perfect for this months theme. An Egyptian goose coming into land at Austin Roberts - a local pond in Pretoria.

Nice motif shot, Stuart. Love the wing position.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Yep, nice landing pose for the theme! I like the purplish sheen on the wing's secondaries. Good exposure control too with the black and white in the plumage.

[Mital Patel]

excellent pose well exposed and razor sharp image stuart.

Thanks a stack for all the feedback.

[Mark Itol]

Superb landing pose, Stuart. Sharp and with lovely background. Excellent job on the exposure.

Stuart:

Nice all the way around. Really struck by the white feathers, looks almost like a piece of fabric draped over his wings.

Fits the theme well.

Cheers
