Challenge: Point of View (Classic Editing)
Camera: Nikon D100
Location: Kansas
Date: Jan 13, 2004
Galleries: Humorous, Animals
Date Uploaded: Jan 13, 2004

 This was taken with my 24-85 lens looking down as I was feeding the many ducks/geese at the park. Not sure if the angle is because s/he heard the focus noise or because s/he thought my camera looked like an odd piece of bread.

This is wonderful Moody! AWESOME DOF... very very nicely done. I didn't vote on this challenge, but if I had you would have received a really high score! Personally I would have cropped off a little at the top, but thats just me. Nicely done!

I really liked this one - the inquisitive expression is priceless

Brilliant shot. Great 'goose' character - just a shame about the drop in light towards the end of the bill.

Depth of field is cool. The beak's texture is striking.

All I can say is I started with a 9 on this image, and tonight it turned into a 10. Wish it was mine.

You probably could have used just a hair more DOF. Still, fabulous shot w/ awesome color.

Beautiful!

How the heck did you get THIS close to even a tame goose? DOF is a touch shallow and focal point is not where I would like to see it, but I'll give up those two points this time on this shot...

I love it! It nearly knocked me off my chair. Lighting could be a little better, but focus is dead on.

instant cute factor! I can hear him honking from here!

LOL, what a great caricature! Love how exaggerated the size of the beak is. Only complaint is that the cropping is just a little tight on the left and right sides. Great job. 7
