In a local drainage lake, the goose on the right was chasing the other pair out of "his" territory. They were flying just about into the sun so I had to do some major post processing to try and pick up some of the detail lost in shadow. Still a work in progress...

Nice capture! I never seem to be able to get crisp pics of birds in motion. It's a lot harder than it looks. I like the scene here - including the grasses along the waters edge.

Definitely spend a few hours trying to capture the best shots of these fellas. I like the fact that they are in motion, and you did a nice job of that. I don't care so much for the background grass. I think a shallow dof, or spot blurring to remove the detail of it would really help this composition a lot as it stands.

Nice shot! I have a ton of geese by my house, and I know how hard it can be to capture them in the right light. Obvoiusly, this would have worked better if you had been between them and the sun, but you can't exactly tell them to do this all over again. :o) My only suggestion would be to keep shooting them, and hope for the best. That's what I do, and one of these days I may actually get a keeper!
