Description

Canadian Geese gather at St. John's Conservation Park. I love this area, because in the middle of the park is a big pond. The b/g greens are the beautiful trees surrounding the pond and reflecting in the water. The Canadian Goose in the distance is actually standing in the shallow water grooming himself.

Exif: F Number: 5.6, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/150 seconds, Flash: fired, auto mode, ISO: 400, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 200.00 mm, Model: PENTAX *ist D

Great compostion and subject here, I like the other blurred goose adding background interest..it seem like the main goose's head is slightly out of focus though..don't know if you could try to apply some sharpening to it. :-) #7230768

Hi Anthony, thank you for your kind words above...I will sharpen the goose - just wondering if there is a way to 'just sharpen the head?'

Can't remember what software you use Christine but in PS and PSE you can select just the head and try using unsharp mask. #7232212
