This looks like a serious fight here. The poor little duck doesn't have a hope against that big goose! Great action shot showing lots of turbulence in the water. Also great exposure, clarity and sharpness showing lots of detail. Especially like the all the detail in the goose's wings. Well done and good luck in the contest!

Nice stop action here, great shot...but I feel bad for the little white duck, it looks like she is being molested...lol. Great clearity in this and I like the lines due to the placement of the wings.

thanks, that's another perspective, that I've never thought of. Great mind.

A wonderful stop action picture of the Canada Goose as it splahes down on the white duck. Beautiful composition & lighting superb camera techniques with sharp focus.

Suppose he got to close to Mrs. Goose, that what usually causes these spats, well caught the water disturbance shows this is no little friendly peck.

This is an example of being at the right place at the right time to capture this nature shot. Focus and exposure are both very good. Great job.

This is a magnificent capture of a goose attacking a duck, looking at the size of the goose, it seems a bit of an unfair fight. Great shot!

This is a great image, it is perfect for this contest, it would have been a good image for the "Action" contest also.

Well focused and perfectly framed. Nice Job!

Steve, I need a very slight cropping for this, hence, I did not enter in the Action Contest which requires NO EDITING. Thanks for the five.

Comment from Atjoybell
Wow! How we do forget. This is a very scary shot. Color, composition, clarity and focus are great. It's the initial impact that's off the charts. Again - Wow!

Comment from gidavidson
The geese are very territorial and try to keep the smaller birds away. We have a male and female with a nest at our local pond and the geese get very excited if other birds or people get near the nest. It can be kind of fun to watch them at times. Good focus, frame and exposure to show the action in progress.
