The camera settings are well established and have produced a high resolution image of good contrast, color and tonal range.

Color range is narrow but all colors are rich and lush and complement each other very well.

I see an image with pin sharp focusing.

Compact off center framing.

Bright lighting with noticeable water glare.

Good perspective & long depth of field.

Well done ... B-)) Bob

Oh, so cute, Pat! Lovely capture of this beautiful Canada Goose Mum with her gorgeous fluffy little goslings on the pond in your neighbourhood. Love the patterns made by the ripples surrounding them. Excellent lighting and focus showing a lovely clear image. Great composition. Suzanne

My goodness! Either you have been very busy or I am way behind. Not sure which it is. Well, yeah I do. I am way behind. Something called work just gets in the way. This, is a fantastic image. I love the focus and those little fluffy balls of down. Very well done.

This is quite a good photo you have here. We can see how the mother is looking off into the distance - as if she wants to give her children some "time off" from her scrutiny? Yet she's sticking close. :-)

ohhhhhhhhh this is so lovely. When I visited Canada for a few months, I saw the numerous carvings etc they have of ducks there. When I was a girl, at my second children's home in Bavaria, they had little chicks and I can still remember that feeling when I saw these little fluffy things running about.

What a very well photographed and adorable picture of a Geese Family-Mother and her babies- that you have produced. In a charming way, your 'Mom and Children' picture reminds me of one of my favorite childhood picture books: Make Way For Ducklings By Robert McCloskey.
Also, the forms of the gentle water waves reminds me of the feathers on the Mother Goose.

The goslings are just too cute. I like their bright yellow down. You caught them in nice poses and their faces stand out well. I like the ripples in the water too.

A very nice family shot presented here! Your somewhat off-centre composition grants us an enjoyable look at the scene. Sharpness and exposure are good. Well done!
