Geese at 10mm

[racketman]

held camera close to ground and trusted wide 10mm zoom to focus subject.
Male in the background keeps constant watch on the female whilst she feeds.

Its a very unorthodox bird shot
I like it :-) WA distortion makes his belly look HUGE !

I like that angle as well. A bug's eye view of a goose. But if I were a bug, I'd be worried at the look in that goose's eye. :D

i like this also, though im wondering how you got so close without:

a: being chase and attacked
b: scaring the goose away

I did this once to a big bird and the bird pecked at the lens and nearly cracked the glass, but missed it. I have not tempted again.

Nice shot, certainly a different perspective to it.

[lostdoggy]

Wow nice and very brave. Where there is geese/duck there is dung!!!

A different perspective, great job. :)

Cool shot wild and crazy guy! Apparently you've never been bitten before. Geese are mean.

[PetKal]

Excellent, almost as good as the "robin".;)

she wouldn't bite me - I feed them every day - would she?

Thanks for the warning, I wont be trying this again - maybe it will see its reflection in the glass and attack?
