Not real exciting, but this is a test of my new lens(glass). The Nikon 70-300 VRII set at 300mm. IMO the clarity on the goose was maintained pretty well even during zooming in PS.

Editing:
Tried the Convert to B&W in Essentials, played with the color levels. Midtone contast 50%, Contrast 19%, Levels adjust. Added border, resized saved for web.

Nice zoom - I'm getting a 300mm of some kind some day lol. I love the ripples preceding the goose. And of course the contrast and reflections are also wonderful!

Your water is wonderful. The goose must have been moving though because it seems less sharp then the water and also not as well exposed. Maybe could use a little fill in light on the front. Not sure if that is something you can do in photoshop. I have a setting called fill in flash in my Photo Impact program which lets me adjust darks. Maybe if you went to shadow/highlights and adjusted shadow it would give just enough extra exposure to create a better detailed area on the front of the goose.

Very nice reflection and contrast / movement in the water. Maybe consider a little dodging on the white part of the swan's face? Pretty photo.

Perfect for BW. The frame so nicely reflects the tones in the photo - great job.

beautiful symmetrical composition, i like the circular ripples of water around him, gives a nice sense of motion.

The dodgeing in on the bird seems like it extended out past the actual bird's head and into the water and so it has only like half a halo around the bird and its a tiny bit destracting. Either way, there is some nice sharpness in clarity in the reflection in the water is very nice

Jeff, this is GREAT! It's painful to see this beautiful photo taken with your new 70-300 lens because that was my favorite lens and the one that just died on me a couple of weeks ago. sniffle sniffle. You are going to LOVE it! And I think this photo kinda confirms that.

What a beautiful reflection!
