Hi Mary!
Here are some more interesting Australian fowl that an old Yank like myself has never seen!
That's a good looking photo of this aroused Gaggle of them,my friend!

What I find surprising about this fine scene is the way the trees are so far back from the shoreline. Around here the trees would grow right up to the water. A nice composition with some fine looking geese.

I can see how they got their name quite easily! Hope to see a closer shot of some one day!! Your composition gives us the feeling that there could well be a swamp out there. Your exposure and sharpness are fine, well done!

relaxing capture. the clarity is great. the capture of the light is great. the angle of the shot of the geese both flying and in the water is great. the image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall
