Comment from Susan F. M. T.
Fred,
A very beautiful stop action picture of the gaggle of Canadian Geese noisily chasing off another gaggle of geese in front of them. The blue sky & the vegetation on the lake's shore reflected on the water's surface. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan

interesting capture. the clarity is great. the angle of the shot of these angry geese is great. the capture of the light is great. the image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall.

Comment from Neilnap773
A nice shot but I would like to have seen lass cutting off of the geese bodies on the left of the frame and the front goose is slightly blurred and off putting in my opinion.

thank you;
there were many more on the left: impossible to avoid cutting, unless I take the whole area; I prefered a much closer view to see the open beaks;

Comment from Darth Chelios
This is a very cool shot!
Canada Geese look so trippy!
I haven't seen these type before.
I like their black beaks.
Great photo!

Comment from Shadow catcher
From their postures,they definitely do not look happy! Very well focused grouping of grumpy Canadian geese,the panoramic crop makes this an enjoyable image and frames these birds very well. Beautiful colors throughout!

Comment from Len Shood
Well that's Canadians for you.
A nice shot particularly in the format you chose for it and some of the geese do look pretty annoyed.
An amusing shot with nice natural colours and generally (apart from that lead goose) sharp. Nice one.

Comment from Linda Wetzel
We can see the fury in this comical scene as these geese determinedly swim aggressively toward the family of intruders. The open bills show indicate that they are noisily honking.

Comment from seshadri_sreenivasan
Territorial dispute or cultural differences may be!:) The one with closed beaks must be the males! You have shot the scene well! The light, and the composition have worked well . Good effort!

Comment from michiganmike
They are notorious for making a lot of noise (and also a lot of shit). The lakeside residents do their best to keep them away. A very nice action shot. I can hear them from here.

Comment from mrobyn
I love the movement in this - I can almost hear them calling in this flurry of non symmetrical racing down the river. The dappled green and blue set off their black grey and white feathers so well. Such a lovely photo.
