    One of the best looking geese I have seen. Feather detail and colour is really nice. The only negative (slight at that) is that the face is turned away.

    The colours are great and I like the OOF background. I agree that it would have been nice if the goose had been looking the other way. Nice shot.

    This is very well done. Only thing I would suggest would be to clone out the twig in bottom left, then maybe the goose poop. Those to parts add nothing to the image.

    I can even read the leg ring. Fine shot and result.

    I agree with James. There is such beautiful detail in that shot, that I'd leave in nothing extra to take attention away from your subject.... "What doesn't add, detracts"

    Couldn't agree more. Well done, Dave.

    Really a nice shot. Great detail, nicely composed, good angle on the bird. We'd always prefer direct eye contact but this one kind of tells a story as-is. Agree with prior suggestions for cloning a bit. Nice job.

    Short of having the bird for dinner, I think you nailed this one.

    No improvement needed and the low viewpoint is spot on.

    Dave...the both of you need to work on you posing skills, eyes looking at the camera/head forward/whatnot.
    Perhaps a book on bird training would help...PM Bobo for some help as he does OK with birds.
