Thanx Candice. I am so glad to see someone out there is still commenting on photos being shot. Seems like everyone has left. #5816573

Mark, a wonderful in-flight shot. The reflcetion is wonderful and the position in frame excellent. I know how hard it is to snap fast-moving birds, but it's fun to keep trying. Maybe one day I'll get as nice a shot as this.

(I, too, have been wondering where everyone is.) #5818353

Thanx Belinda. Nice to hear from you. Maybe everyone is just too busy out there using their photo makers. #5826198

Beautiful reflection with good detail. This photo evokes mixed emotions for me. On the one hand I infer movement because of the in-flight position. But the placid water and reflection also emote a sense of calm and quiet. Very well done.

One suggestion...if you croped a bit off of the right side the goose would be more on the one-third line. This would create more visual space in front of the bird and increse the sense of forward movement.

Why didnt you enhance the contrast a little bit more so it sharpen the outlines, give it a better dimension.

I also completely agree with Irene. if you crop it a little bit more and this will definitely be a perfect photo.

Arijit. #6486283
