[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
For Bob (bobair) - What about a Canada Goose with red eyes!

This bird was part of about 50 Canada Geese resting on Osprey pond - Mississauga. Two of them were lighter colored that the rest, and I think they are a partially albino variation. I posted as workshop two other pictures showing them together with common Canada Geese.

Hello Mario, this is interesting. I have seen Mallards with paler colours but I thought they might have been half-breeds. I like your photo showing the 2 different birds together. It is good to see the differences between them both.
Nicely captured too.
Janice

Hello Mario. I like this clean image with very well exposed plumage. Superb sharpness and handling of the light and exposure. Regards. Jusni

Hi Mario,
I'm not sure how it is that I missed this one but I'm glad you told me about it.I must say that until I looked at these photos I had not seen an albino goose or even knew of their existence but nature always has it's surprises and these two geese are no exception to the rule.I know you have very good control over your exposures and if this were a normal goose I would of thought you miscued on the exposure however looking at the workshop photos I know that the exposure is spot on the money.The colours are very good and the clarity of focus is excellent.In my opinion there is nothing that really needs to be different as what I see looks very good.The camera you are using will soon be one I'll own as well and with all the af points it has I may be able to get the kind of quality shots you get.Thanks Mario for sharing these photos,and I too wonder why so very little feedback,especially when you consider what a rare pair of geese these two are. Bob
