This is a wonderful reflective shot with great detail and lighting. Nice catch light in the eye. #1264420

Thanks!

I had to wait a while till the shot was just as I wanted. No breeze to disturb the mirror surface of the water, no other birds in the scene or close by to disturb the water, the subject goose cooperating with face pointed into the light just right, no people going by (it's a busy park)...
I was happy with the results. #8584185
