Hi Paul
This is a GREAT mug shot, congrats, and a new species for me as well. No nits
Go there again end March - go to the left, where they have the different country's birds, and check out the moothens fighting - You are bound to shoot some winners. Just remember to crank-up the ISO bit. I shot over 300 pics of a pair of fighting males, but had the camera three days and forgot about ISO, being used to slides, so no winners

Hi Paul. I'm happy you are back to share with us your great shots. I like this one for the unusual goose look compared with those we know. Never seen it before. BG grey tone is ideal to match bill and head colors. Subtle hues differentiating eye pupil from iris are superb and show how well this image is exposed. Very good framing to a portrait size and excellent details.

Paul, I agree with everyone before me: this is just a fantastic close-up. What I like particularly is the level of detail and colors on the bill. TFS.

Hello Paul and welcome back, it is great to see you back on-line and hopefully in good shape.

Excellent portrait of this goose and well handled colours against the dark background still showing details in the plumage. Well done.

By the way congratulations with you new toy - I am sure you will be very satified.
