I love this series of shots. Plenty of action. Very good shots. Everything in the image about them makes them excellent shots.

All are great shots Wayne, if I had to pick one the third shot for me has the most visual interest.

Very good series you have there. And you did a good job of keeping the two geese within the depth of focus.

:lol: Excellent action Wayne and I can hear them now Very nice series that tells a story...I have told a few mothers to watch their young children at Billings. It worries me to see a 5 year old trying to feed a Canada Goose. They are ususally ok but the odd one can be miserable.

200 Prime?
