Description

Finalist
I met these guys at a very old farm we stopped at on our mini vacation earlier this week -- first time I had ever seen really domesticated Canada geese. This is pretty much the shot I wanted -- geese in foreground, barn behind -- but they were SO friendly, it was hard to get enough distance to get the shot :)

I've never come across them domesticated either. I didn't know anyone did that. You were right down their with them, weren't you? Nicely done straight on shot, and the soft environment behind them works so well here. #8771391
