I do love this! And yes...there are many titles to imagine with this one. Excellent job staying with the preening efforts of this goose and snapping away with your camera!
It looks like you have great clarity here. If this were mine I would have tested all kinds of crops to see how artistic I could make it. As this is definitely full of art..in the symmetry of the feathers and the textures in the all white.. There is so much to see here in a close up! Awesome!! Thanks for seeing this one! love it!

Hi Nature, I have more of this goose in the process of preening, so there will be more that are just as funny! I'm glad you enjoyed the shot and had fun viewing it. Thanks for the wonderful review and the ideas about cropping too. :o) Helvi

Absolutely...yes! I thoroughly enjoyed this! The subject fit the contest theme very well. The goose is centered perfectly in the photo and the feathers are fanned beautifully! Nice job!

It is amusing indeed! This is a lovely shot of the bird! You have timed and framed it well. The light, colour and the composition have worked well. Good luck!

Comment from Zilyram
LOL love this he has certainly got himself all wrapped up and makes for not only interesting but humorous photo. Centering of subject works okay and your exposure on the white is good. :)

Comment from Natalia Leigh
it is really funny! can see only his legs. Just a mess of feathers, in the efforts to be beautiful and clean. :) Must be very hard for the bird to do this kind of exercise. Great shot, thanks for sharing.

Nice amusing entry!
An interesting initial impact.
Perfect timing, sharply focused, still motion shot!
Fine features & fluffy plumage textures.
Can be framed by a square format...
Impressive entry. Potential voters choice... Best of luck in the contest!
Thanks for sharing...

I new someone would say you should have framed this in square format! LOL I kind of liked it this way though. Thank you so much for the wonderful rating and saying this was an impressive entry for the contest. Glad you enjoyed!

I didn't say you should have!
I said CAN be framed by a square format...

I'm sorry if I made you believe that I was mad, I wasn't.I know you didn't say I should have done it that way. I was just stating that someone would tell me the square format was the way to go. It was said with a smile attached and so is this reply. MY sincere apologies if I upset you in any way!

No you're not! I'm just stating it nicely in a Filipino way of saying to foreigners...I forgot to attach the ;-))
