Nice goose David Anthony. If the other two are like this, my goose is "cooked" in the challenge.

Thats funny Surry ;^) Truth is, your geese in flight toast mine.

This is another not so usual BIF shot. It is all wings including the tip of the right wing and a peekaboo beak.

It is a nice pose sury, wings spread and it looks like it's standing on water

[david antony]

Wow. Talk about timing, splendid shot Sury.

[Birma]

Good catch Sury - I like the beak peeking out

[Greg Beetham]

It’s sort of like a UFO bird, or a brolly bird with two handles, good catch Sury.

From last nights' evening paper in Glasgow:



I must confess, I am that photographer!

Shot with my a580, & Tamron 18-250mm. I was quite excited about seing the Heron, as I've only seen one in the wild before, and didn't have a camera with me first time. (30 odd years ago!)

[Dr. Harout]

Nice to have your shot printed Graeme (aka Atgets Apprentice). Well done.

[sury]

I agree. It is nice to have your photo printed. It would be nice to see the original too.

Thank you for your kind words. The original image:

You are welcome and thank you for the original. Though expected, the paper does not do the justice to the photo.
