Swan goose (C) + repost

I found these swan geese to have very attractive markings. IMHO they seemed to have a regal bearing.

The bird does have kind of a nobel look: interesting face too, John. I think that the OOF not-regal-looking legs and OOF foreground stuff don't add much to the beauty of the shot. You could crop for more of a portrait.

This large a bird is always difficult, John. Hard to get the whole thing in focus, and if you want to get any detail it gets awfully tight in the frame. I think I agree with Steve that a portrait might take better advantage of this guy.

Thanks for your suggestions. I have attached a portrait version.
