[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is another neighbor of the Trumpeters at lake Ontario. It seems to be a loner no other of this type is around and flies around with the Canada Geese. Not quite sure what type of goose this is, it might be a hybrid simular to the Ross's Goose.

Hi Sky.
What a nice shot and how many gooses and duck you have pictured. But I like your DOF very much. You managed to select one of them and presented it nicely. The pose, white feathers, sharpness and details are perfect. Other birds at the beach (well blurred) have created a very nice and impressive BG. Bravo and my best wishes.
Alexei.

Une belle prise Sky!

je crois bien que cet oie est un intrus dans cette cohorte de canards.
Merci pour l'envoie.

Hello Sky
It is great how you isolated this lovely goose between all the others in the photo. It is a beautiful bird and I just like that graceful arch in the neck. The photo shows good details on the feathers and the colors are very nice.
Greetings

Hi Sky,
A lovely selection of images of these ducks and swans...this one included.Good detail and clarity with a nice low perspective to give a view along the beach.The DOF is enough to show his surroundings and emphasis he was amoung strangers.I like it...well done.
Regards, David

Hi Sky

Another charming post from you!
The contrast here between the main subject ans simply every other bird in this frame is amazing!
Wonderful composition and DOF managed by you, too!
The details are very nice and sharp, as usual, the natural colors are lovely and the framing is nice, as well.

Bravo and TFS

Hello Sky,
Beautiful shot of this goose.
I like a lot the composition, the first plane of the animal and the background curve os the shore.
Good POV and DOF used here.
Congratulations and thanks for share,

Hello Sky, Nice shot. You did a great job on the exposure. Compsotion is pretty good for placement but neing really picky I would tried to get rid of the duck in the BG that is directly behind the goose's neck. It would also have been good if the goose had turned around a little. Well done.

Hello Sky

A very good shot of this goose.Perhaps a greylag cross breed. It has some features similar to a greylag.The POV and DOF are very good.Nicely composed and I really like the BG with all the ducks in it.Well done.TFS

Rob

Hi Sky,
Nice shot and well observed. This goose has to 'phone home'. Well done in isolating the goose from Canada Geese. Great composition with background of lovely environment.

Hello Sky,
It's true that it is difficult to say... I had a look in my bird's book and it could be a SNOW GOOSE. The drawing in my book is very similar at your picture. This is a beautiful and very detailed capture with nice POV and DOF. Well done again. Thanks,
PS, Had you have time to look at some Snow Goose?

Hello Sky,
This is a special guy and he knows himself!
Plumage is well captured with good details in the dominating white...
I like the composition with all the blurry birds in the background!

Hi, Sky.
Idea here is very well seen. Light duck contrast to the dark ones. Very good exposure also. Sharp. Only a little bit too close to bottom border for my eye.

Hi Sky,
Very nice shot..POV,details,light composition are wonderful.TFS

Hi Sky.
How apposite title for this your scene.Alone among so many by other.
I like composition,when is focus on of one white bird and flock dark is in blurry background.Very nice low POV,fine sharp details on plumage of this goose.Colours look very naturally and are very well saturated.
Well done nice work.TFS
Best greetings Milos
