Photograph Information Photographer's Comments
Challenge: Fauna (Classic Editing)
Camera: Canon PowerShot S30
Location: Lake Arthur, Moraine State Park, Pa
Date: Apr 19, 2003
Aperture: f8.0
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/500
Date Uploaded: Apr 19, 2003

 I know, geese aren't the prettiest birds, but they're what we get here, aka local "fauna" = P

Tiffen 2x Teleconverter used (210 mm total);
Levels adjusted (blue channel), sharpened, contrast increased slightly, cropped, resized

I'm not sure how people will like the framing. I had framed it horizontally but thought it was kinda boring, since I have never submitted anything other than horizontally orientated shots.

Lovely water tones! Almost impressionistic! I don't find the goose as attractive as its water. Still, nice light!

I must say, I'm tired of looking at fowl but this is the best one. Great color, you caught the water just right (movement I mean) and your centering is good. Great job.

the water looks awesome. the focus on the duck seems a bit soft.

Nice picture. Love the abstractions of the reflections of the water and of the Cgoose. The goose is well lit. Good composition with lots of negative space giving him room to breathe (and swim). 7 Journey
