Banking Egyptian - 13000 posts

[Stu Bowie]

I hadnt realised that Ive added a few more posts. Here is an image of an Egyptian goose flying over a local pond in Pretoria. Although these guys are common, make a lot of noise and love to aggrevate each other, its a joke between local photographers that we shouldnt waste an image on these guys. We all know that they can produce decent images. I wish this was against a better BG, but Im taking it anyway.

Hi Stuart,

Congratulations on the landmark! That is a lot of time and effort...

Nice image of the Egyptian Goose - these guys are crazy. A friend has a pair visit his garden here in Brussels; he talks to them and they come to him for food - its a Franciscan thing...

Regards,

Gerald

Neat landing pose and great detail and light on the face. Wish the far wing was a little lighter near tip bu don't think you can do much about it. Thanks for taking time to give me some of those of 13000 posts. I appreciate all of your comments and advice.
