Bosque Snow Goose

Still seeing snow geese in my sleep! They just keep coming and going and coming! I like the wing position and angle towards me, along with the hint of mountains in this. They are fast, yet graceful at the same time.

50D, 500mm, ISO 200, F8, 1/3200 LARGER version also provided. Thanks for your
comments and critiques...they are all helpful! Sharon

Looks as if you had a terrific time in Bosque!
Delightful image - nice wing position, sharp, goose well-placed in the frame, and great BG.
Sweet!

Sharon: Still laughing about your comment of seeing snow geese in your sleep! Don't worry, it will stop in a few months :smile:

Nice image of this one. Another nice placement with the distant Chupadera mountains. Excellent exposure and sharpness.

Nice, Sharon. I really like the wing position and you got a very nice catchlight, which is difficult to do with this species.

Very nice flight shot with excellent expire. The distant hills add to the image.
