Coming in for a Landing
by Denise

Walnut Creek, California

To tell the truth, I think he just decided to flap his wings ;-))
I was taking pictures of the cat tails and the next thing I knew there was the goose. For once, I pressed the shutter at the right time.

Well, isn't he the little showboat disrupting your cat tail composition. I guess you will have to settle for this fabulous picture instead.

Wow, what a perfect capture Denise! The goose really stands out from the rippling water behind it. Great shot and wonderful entry for the challenge!

Your timing was spot on, as is your composition.

Great capture of the goose with his wings out, and I love the dark green color, and ripples and reflections in the water!

Rich textures on the water and beautifully captured movement. Well done. MCsaba
