A quite grand goose portrait presented here! Your very fine composition provides an excellent look at your marvellous goose!! Sharpness and exposure are first class. Great shot, well done!

LOVE it! I never knew their tongues had the textures that you have captured. Cool! And you have certainly captured the moment and the character of this bossy goose! Great bg and perfect eye. Colors are natural with a bit of vibrancy. Love seeing the textures in the feathers. Great work! Thank you for going after a different take!

Fantastic shot! The background really makes the goose's head pop! You capture every detail and more detail than I wanted to know about a goose's tongue! Great shot!

How in the world, did you observe all these functions of that highly specialized, intriguing tongue!

Superb up close & verrrrry personal!
Sharply focused facial details, special features and smooth textures.

Ideal off centered framing wit ample front space for movement...
Subdued lighting enough to give that slight glint on his wide eye to coincide with that gaping mouth reaction as you're approaching him!

Nice perspective & narrow DOF.
Thanks for sharing...

Sorta like he is reacting to you getting 3 stars!!!
Atta Girl G~Lu! Fine close up, sharp focus, nice eye clarity, great visual of the spikes on his tongue which I never seen before as we do not have these dudes here.
Exposure/white balance is fab and the stop action is great.
Nice work!

    A 3 star requires a lot of work...camera techs.
    When less than is given..there needs to be camera techs offered...or editing tricks on how to improve.
    Praising the work then rating less than makes no sense.
    Shake it off Grace. It's the only postings of a Canadian Goose showing the spiked tongue on far.

Nice photo. Like how aperture was used to bring the focus to the beak area and tongue since this was the the whole subject of the photo. The hue of the background highlights the subject very well, also.

A very nice shot. The eye is sharp and the spiked tongue is nicely shown. The exposure is very good and holds detail in both the black and the white. Great tight composition.

Cute - but wouldn't want to meet him in a dark alley ;-). Great shot - nice story - very informative - learn something new every day. Color and lighting just right. Wonderful composition, framing, focus and dof. Thanks for sharing.
