Are these all from one family??? If so, what a BIG one! Never seen that many. Cool capture Rita. #1377870Millie A. Talarico May 18, 2011
Very cool capture, like the detail effect with your choice of filter, Rita!That's one big family there!! #9410358Misty Blue May 18, 2011
Great photo Rita... Your work in Topaz really brings a nice feel to the image. The tone of the photo has a richness to it. #9410365Laura Greene May 18, 2011
Sherran asked what I was going to...is there another set of parents cropped out on the other side? Wow, no wonder they look so proud! It's a wonderful catch and I enjoy your dd technique. #9410721JudyAnn Rector May 18, 2011
Spectacular image, Rita! #9410754Rita Hill May 18, 2011
To answer Sherran and Laura's question: Yes, there were more adult geese in front of the babies, I zoomed in to capture the little guys. #9410793Irene Colling May 18, 2011
Excellent composition Rita. Your upper left placement of the adult geese is nicely balanced by the goselings on the right. The diagonal of water in the background creates an extra dynamic for an outstanding image. #9410862Patricia White May 18, 2011
Well you made me wonder also on the parentage. This is what you babies day out. Quite a few proud parents here. Great find. Not every day you see this many babies all at once. #9411136Karen Kessler May 20, 2011
What a large brood they have! :) Cute photo of them waddling along! #9417374Nancyj E. Hovey June 22, 2011
