Very nicely done. I like the misty quality of the scene and how it surrounds the goose. Th foreground water leads the eye to the main subject which is well placed in the frame. The fading of the background into the mist really makes this a great photo. Well done ~ Steve

This photo is striking in many respects. The fact that it was taken in the mist gives the subject an almost ethereal look. The focus is excellent. The colors are subdued by the mist. The subject stands out so very well. Love the overall appearance of the picture. Well done. Thank you for sharing.

I like what you've done with this lovely shot of the beautiful Goose swimming along in the water with the vignette giving it a dreamlike feel. Very good lighting and focus showing great detail in the markings of the Goose. Lovely composition. Suzanne

I like the image, but wonder how it may benefit from a touch of UV filtering. Just a thought. Great focus and framing. Fog/mist is a nice touch.

This is a lovely shot of the bird! You have framed it well. The light and shadows, the colours and the composition have worked well. Good effort!

This is a beautiful Canadian Goose, well photographed with good focus, the image is clear, well controlled exposure the colors and tones appear natural. I personally like the vignette it holds our eye on the subject and gives a misty appearance . This is well composed and presented!

    Thank you for correcting me. I had only seen the Canadian Geese from the ground when migrating back north. It never occurred to me that they would be this far south at this time of year. And I do appreciate your detailed review.

This is so romantic with the misty background and the soft focus on the goose. I love the black and white head. The reflections in the water add a nice sense of movement to the scene.
