I commend you for your excellent timing of this frame.

This take has excellent color reproduction, camera angle, contrast and detail.

Exposure and sharpness are good.

This is an excellent entry for this contest, good luck... Bob

Comment from Easton Bay
She must like his kisses, she doesn't seem to be shying away. Great catch and composition. The image is clear and colorful. Is she playing a ballerina with one leg tucked behind?

That's so sweet. I'm sure those are two very happy birds. And your photography is great. I really like the way it captures this tender moment in nature.

Such a sweet and endearing moment to capture in a photo. The angle and the way you used the light, as well as your composition brings this photo to life. Love your title

Comment from Christine389
I do like your title, it made me smile but I'm not convinced she wants the kisses - she looks a little reluctant! A well captured shot of these playful geese with some very nice detail.

Comment from Susan F. M. T.
A beautiful picture of this pair of Greylag Geese starting their courtship ritual with a "kiss". The sunshine highlighting one in front so it's neck casts a shadow on the one behind. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.
Good luck in the contest.
Susan

Witty title indeed. And, I do like that the geese seem to be having fun with light smacks and no hard pecking. Well photographed. Best wishes in the contest.
