I've been looking for these guys for weeks. Finally I found them. I took about 300 pictures during my lunch and after work. I just couldn't stop shooting. I just about ran out of room on two cards when Mother Goose told me to go away.

They are fascinating to watch and study. Cute capture and nicely composed. I would agree that the color cast is off a little; I'm seeing a yellow cast. Also, time to buy more cards. :)

I don't see science here, aside from its title. Without the title, this is just a picture of geese.

Nicely focused. Needs to be a little brighter, as I find it difficult to see a lot of detail in the black areas.

Goslings are so cute. Very nice image. I love the coloring the very most. Looks natural, yet bright and clear. Very nice image.

Like the leading line you have achieved with the geese. I think with a more shallow DOF the the foreground goose and chicks would stand out more. Love how each goose is doing something diffrent.
