African Goose bath

[dankearl]

An escapee import goose that has lived for years and is the Patriarch of my local duck pond.
I have posted photos of him before. Very Photogenic and the 'king' of the pond. Probably the most
well known bird in Portland, Oregon. He helps raise numerous chicks of all species born at the pond.
In late afternoon golden light.

Very nice shot. Great background and details.

Nice action and sweet BG. Would have been nice to see it in open sunlight.

IQ and light both off the charts good. Love the dripping water and that golden bg. Your pond sounds like a great place - lucky you.

Great capture Dan, very sharp with good action. The Bg is great, I wish the goose was a little brighter. Great story.

I love it Dan. Personally prefer the filtered, mottled light. Super job getting the action in a very lovely image.

Great looking guy well captured, Dan. Love the bathing action whit the water running down on the Goose.

So beautiul and i really like the water all over. It would be even better in light but you did well without.
