Wonder why they were introduced and why this reaction was not anticipated? Your fine composition captures an interesting action moment. Sharpness and exposure are good. Nicely taken!

That poor goose lol. You have captured a great action scene here. I really like the long framing, which shows off the swan and the goose well. Thanks again for sharing another fantastic photo with us. :)

Comment from Linda Engel


I understand swans, though pretty , are very territorial and vengeful You caught the swan at her best in shooing away the small goose. Lovely reflection in clear water. Great action shot. Excellent focus . Great cropping and well framed.

Comment from Donna Ruiz


This shot makes me laugh. Your stop action, capturing the splash of water, the wings, and the Canada walking on water is really well done. I like the panoramic crop and the reflection is very cool. This would be a 6 if the focus on the birds were a little tighter but, that's nit picking. A very nice capture.

I really like the humour in this photo Fred, so your title is very apt. I especially like how well you have captured the splashes of water, and also the fine reflections from the birds. Your stop action is just perfect.

The photo is sharp with clear and well defined details, and also the exposure is very good.

I like the format you have cropped this photo into, and also the placements of the birds within the frame. Indeed a great looking and well taken photo, and with a very good DOF.

this looks so funny Fred, the Canada goose looks like it is literally walking on the top of the water, great action shot, I like the deep colour in the water, great Jon on white balance. the letter box framing works well too.

Hey we say the same thing in March.. course those snowbirds miss the snow cause they think anything at 80+ degrees is hot..geez they really don't know what hot is. Wink..lol. cool capture of the chase. The angle of the shot of this swan goose chase with water reflection is awesome. The clarity is great. The capture of the light is great. The image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall

Comment from Envision


Too funny! The swans chase each other with that same force some times. I really like the capture of the turbulent splashes behind the swan and how the goose's foot is making it's own splashes.

Great stop action, water impact splash up, fine white balance control with superb clarity. What's so fantastic are the water Reflections and the true and natural colors.
Fab capture Fred ;)

Great capture of the action! Excellent sharpness and exposure. I like the wing positions of both birds. The dark blue water is a beautiful background.
