Goose

I seldom photograph birds for many reasons, including a lack of a long telephoto lens, but I took a few last weekend and found it very enjoyable. Criticism is always welcome.

Looks like a swan to me!

Great shot, even so...

Thanks, Don. I think it was a goose.

Great shot. Definitely wall material. I might prefer to see the bird in the lower right quadrant....but I'll sure take it as it is. Well done, Don.

High key is hard to do. You nailed it.

Well done.

Goose. Swan. Giraffe. Whatever it really is, that is a really great picture.

Tom, Barbarian, David, thanks. This one was pretty high-key to begin with.

Really nice Don - there is a fine line between overexposed and high-key, but as was said, you nailed it.
That's two killer bird shots posted recently - time for that tele!

Thanks very much, Eric. I was bracketing by a stop and the "overexposed" image was a good starting point for this treatment.

Really nice shot! Congrats!
