Hi Bill,
Never seen such an amazing shot, well composed and timing really impressive.
TFS.

Good and timely capture Bill, the same action would down an airplane surely, which shows that the nature made fliers are much better than man made ones!
Cheers,
Mehmet

Hello Bill,

You catch well moving moment of this goose.
And, it draws out good effect in the whole on water splay of lower right and shadow to surface of the water of left wing and both legs. If I say the desire a little, it's perfect if you have been catched the total shadow of goose by lowering below a little camera angle, though it's very difficult because goose is moving rapidly.

Regards,
mikio

great shot! on the right moment! nice colors and pov

hi Bill,

What an action shot, The water drops from the webbed feet and the turbulence created at the impact of the wing and the water coupled by a loud mouthed bird :-) makes this is a wonderful picture to watch.

Hello Bill,
You caught a decisive moment, just so funny the way these Goose comes in with this spectacular landing.
Well done!

Hello Bill !
Another wonderful in-flight picture of the Canada Goose, I love how her wing is touching the water. I also like the warm colors of this picture, the composition, the frontal POV. Very well done !
Valérie.
