Thank you CJ and CAT,
I think the goose was heading to the others. But he did look on the lonely side.
Here is what the lake looked like that day.

The whole photo is put together very nicely. The goose does look isolated from its buddies and the broken wing might be the reason. They travel down south this time of the year, where there is no snow and more to eat... I guess this guys was left behind. -Cat

Looks good to me Sue Anne, in fact I'm a bit peed off because it looks better than wot I did:-) Well done:-)

Not sure if this is too sharp. Rod thanks for the tips.

I had a play wiv it in PS & it came up looking a lot better for me. I just used the sharpen tool on the body feathers & the put a "S" shape in the curves tool which whitened the ice & the bird stood out more. (sort of like upping the contrast) There's a picy in here Sue Anne it was just hiding:-)

Thank you RK - this goose was in a hurry to catch up with the others.

Yes I think you are right Henry, it must have a broken wing.

and Rod, I do get problems loading my pic to Pbase, the 'Original' is always best seen but not at 'large' size. (So I reloaded my smugmug version and it works)
*sigh* so this is pending material? I may send it there if I get to shoot something better within the time frame.

The poor ole bird looks a bit out of focus so to isolate it from the background maybe try & sharpen it up. ........................or put it in pending:-)

Very nice, it looks like it's wing is broken, poor thing. - Henry

You have done a good job on exposing the snow/ice. The goose looks lost and lonely.
