A Canada Goose in Longmont, CO.

Yes, this is a stretch. And, it demanded a rotation to display the "heart". However, I liked the light and color on the lake, as the sky was a pretty blue. What I was trying to do was to get two geese to touch beaks and breasts, even in passing. But, it didn't happen. guess I needed swans.

So, anyway, I was happy to eventually capture a semi-heart shaped image. It was okay, but not what I had in mind.

Loveland has lots of heart shaped sculptures. Just seemed like stealing to photograph someone else's art.

Good idea with the heart. I see it in the head and neck of the goose. However, ducks and geese get destroyed here at DPC. For a duck or goose to make it, you have to the animal boarding a UFO or something.

Nice colors and details. The vertical is not a good idea though. 5

Beautiful image, the water is perfect and the sharpness on the duck is excellent; I see what you were going for with the heart shape and it's creative, I would actually really love to see this the right way up too.

I can see what you're trying to do here with the shape of the duck's body and the reflection, but the orientation of the shot just serves to confuse and make you want to tilt your head.

Very nice picture and there are hearts here, but I fear you may be challenged for a bit of a shoehorn.....really nice picture (if upright), but the angle just messes with my mind.

I wish the heart shape stood out a little more from the rest of the pic. Nice clarity.

I see the heart, but most of all I see a photo that hasn't been flipped to the correct orientation. It might have been better to flip it horizontal and let the viewer find the sideways heart.

Not sure where the heart is?
