Hi Valerie,
You had to cope with hard sunlight.
So there's a lot of contrast; little detail in the black neck for instance. On the other hand the eye light is beautiful.
A good compo!
Well done overall...

Hello Valerie,
A wonderful goose portrait!
I think the bird seems a bit irritated by being photographed from behind..?
The Canada goose is quite common in Northern Europe, has been so for some years and seem to be very happy with the conditions here...
A very attractive birdy portrait!

Even if you had to wade knee deep in mud to get this image, you would still be a winner, Valerie :-)!
The goose looking back at you with an expression of surprise on its face actually seems to be admiring you for your perseverance and fortitude!
Adorable image captured with perfect utilization of the ambient light. The effects, including the OE whites, are magical.
Well done and TFS.

Hi Valerie.
I have read your interesting note with great gladness for you. As you know I had taken some pictures of these gooses but not wild. Since that time, I have loved them. That is why I understand your feeling. Your shot is really excellent despite some OE. Great pose and eye contact, amazing blurred BG and so on. This is great meeting which you will remember on all life. BRAVO and best wishes.
Alexei.

A very amusing title for this lovely image! Great colours and details (amazing how it almost blends in with the dull colours of the water)

Hola Valerie,
Una pose y una composición realmente buenas y una luz bellísima. Sí que suena raro un ganso canadiense en Alemania!

Hi Valerie,

Nice to see you are still here and still taking pictures! Canada geese are great. They are a hated species in Europe, being considered an alien invasive species, but I happen to like them, especially their melancholic calls in the early morning, with the mist still on the water...

Hi Valerie

I took a small look over your gallery and saw that i didn't comment this lovely post of yours.
I must say that you really have a special way of looking at things and always manage to get the best composition out of things.
This photo is a great example for that and all the propertions from here are wonderful.
Even if in this difficult lighting you overexposed certain very small parts, this portrait of this lovely Canada Goose is still cahrming.
The details are terrific and the colors are very beautiful.
The DOF you chose here is also excellent and manages to isolate your subject very nicely from the blurred BG.

Bravo and TFS
