Theme - Perfect touch down

[Stu Bowie]

These Egyptian geese are pretty common at a local pond in Pretoria, and often produce great postures, either in flight, or incoming. At this location, more often than not, they do approach head on. A lower angle wasnt possible, as I was already standing on the lowest position possible. Taken a little while back.

super duper shot. wish to water waves were bit light to give better compliment to bird and its amazing frontal lending pose.

Agree that its nature and we can set them up everytime ;)

Sweet light, and I love the way the feet have just touched down. Wings look good with a solid exposure and nice detail.
