I was wondering where all of the Canadian Geese had gone…I found them over by West Bank Park!
I like these because they show the water rolling of, well, a Goose’s back! Errr, head! In this first one what looks like a slab of ice is actually water bounded by the goose’s natural oils and surface tension: Just slow water.

I kept my ISO up at 400 to keep the shutter speed up; I was hand holding the camera and lens.
(1/1500, f8, 400mm, ISO 400, -1/2 stop)
To keep these at my standard format of 1440×960 (Wallpaper size!) I had to crop them to center the goose, shrink them to 75%, then resize the long edge to about 2000 pixels. Then I resized the canvas (cropped it to a specific size) to 1440×960. The image of the goose was just too big to show full sized! That is what I get for playing closeup with a 400mm lens. {!-{P
(I like the little sun glint in the water coming off of the beak in this one.)

They are just as sharp full sized. I could have just had a study of the water on the head. And while I adjusted the highlights and shadows, and levels and contrast, I never touched the saturation Robyn!
