I have seen this scene quite a few times over my pond. So stubborn aren't they. Like the way the geese have decided to go quick, while the swan is carrying on without a care in the world.

And with several ducks scattering as well. You can tell who rules the roost at this lake. Funny shot of this fast action. Unfortunately for you and the swan the goose is not likely to return to Canada! lol Good photo for the contest as the action is well captured.

WOW this is a stunning perspective you are standing there like God looking down from the Heavens - fantastic capture of a not so nice little life scene, hope they all survived - stunning stop action shot , fanatic to see how MOM is defending her family chasing the goose out - your frame is fantastic and you got them all well placed n your space , great distant shot, perfect in camera settings - amazing ambiance , the green waters are exceptional certainly and hopefully from tree reflections, great snap sbot, thanks for sharing

I just love the title. Great sense of humor and is surely an image with a funny story to tell. Excellent natural lighting. Nice catch of that wingspan and of course, the action. A pleasure to view.

Very nice action capture. I'm not quite sure your title is that clear from what's portrayed. No matter, this is not a title contest! The POV is very interesting. Nice color and detail. Were you in a tree? Cheers.

Happy to see this attractive and unique spectacle of the birds.Without reading the notes I would not have known that the swan was chasing the geese,instead it looked like the Canada geese was chasing a little one.A large area is covered in your shot and the displaced water in white colour over the olive green colour water looks good.
