Great dynamic pose, James. I like that the goose is coming towards you. The lighter waters make a nice contrast to the subject. I find the image a bit dark and lacking details in the underwing areas. I would suggest brightening it a bit. Not sure why you went for -ve exposure comp.

I was taking pictures of seagulls against the white sky when the goose came in

An excellent shot of the goose, James. And unless you know the goose came from Canada, it is called a Canada Goose, not a Canadian Goose. Confusing, I know!

Agree with other comments. And yes, Canada goose, not Canadian.

Interesting landing pose, I would try to bring out some detail in the dark areas if possible, good reaction to get this.

Great job seizing the moment James, sometimes there's just no time to fine tune our settings.
Very good details.. I like the comp, flight pose, and your POV a lot
