Comment from Susan F. M. T.


I can't tell you whether it's a duck or a goose. Sizewise it looks like a goose..It's curly tail feathers are those of a drake it's breed/species is a mystery to me! It could be a hybrid Drake? A beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus. Good luck in the contest.

Quite an interesting entry into the competition posted here! Your fine and off-centre composition offers us a good look at your goose. Sharpness and exposure are good. Well done and good luck!

Comment from seshadri_sreenivasan


I am ashamed to admit that I don't know the answer. I can hazard a guess. Since it has flat bill and short legs I guess it is a duck! And fits the contest subject!:) Be that as it may, the pic of this bird looks good. Good luck!
