Feathers are a challenge.

geese are natural hams?

There's so much more detail captured that feathers are a secondary concern; however the feathers were nicely exposed and captured, I think it's the eyes and beak that show good detail.

yes they do but they were easy.

And white feathers are doubly difficult!

So easy to get over exposure and a lot of negative exposure compensation can make everything else over dark with noisy shadows. Where possible, I tend to prefer shooting in slightly overcast lighting for this sort of scene. So I think you have done well here.

Possibly, it would have been nice if the beak wasn't partly in shadow, but I don't find that to be a serious concern.

Looking at Sun, eh?

And the shadows while not overpowering do put in a touch of contrast?
