[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Canada Geese are back to the Botanical garden. This male was there last year with its mate, but there is actually another younger pair and one lonely male. So this male has a lot of work to protect its mate's honour and their territory which includes two major ponds of the garden. Other geese seem to respect its rights, at least after clearly understandable warnings. But they have to be reminded frequently!

Eugene,

Before I read your note, I thought to myself that this looks like a 'warning - its my territory' type of flight. And sure enough, it is! I've noticed this kind of behavior lately as well. Your shot shows it well. BTW, at 1/320th of a second, this was not an easy shot to pull off. Very nicely done. TFS

Best Regards,

Martin

Hi Eugene.
Fantastic POV and scene. Superb action shot taken using almost all capacities of the camera and lens. That is the case when I want have working ISO 1600. Bravo.
Alexei.

Nice take off of the flight. Good catch. Think would be better if could include all the wings.

Hi Eugene!

Wonderful action shot, the movement is very well shown! Still the details and sharpness are very fine in the bird. Nice lighting there too. TFS!

Best regards,
Andor
