Golden Gosling

Gallery: AvianPosted June 18, 2012139 views9 comments

Taken a couple of weeks ago. Mother Goose had seven goslings in tow. Went there today and the cute factor is all gone and they are just about grown. Canon 7D, using 100-400 IS lens, handheld. ISO 400, 1/1000, F10 at 375.

Comments welcomed.

Cute factor is very high!! Great shot of this little one. Love the low angle and the perspective of size generated by the blades of grass. Very nice

Cute for sure! The goslings grow so fast, they are cute for about 3 days, imo. Then they are gangly teens..
Nice perspective here, great open beak, and your usual fine detail.

I love the angle (handheld?) and yes, in a matter of weeks the cute babies form some of the waterfowl turn into reglar old grown ups.

Golden is right. This light and the overall look of this image are gorgeous, Patricia.

They grow up so very quickly but you caught this little guy at the right moment. Great perspective and wonderful detail in the chick.
