I was out with Ted (busbyea) this morning very early , we were watching a pair of Canada Geese on the pond ,,, when a small flock of maybe a dozen more Canadas showed up well this guy and his mate went kinda nuts and drove the others from the pond so here they are in nice early morning light , these were all taken with Teds 100 - 400 and are very minor crops, Thanx for the use of the 400 Ted,,, C & C welcome and appreciated,,,

Excellent series of action shots! Love the gooses expression in the first one, superb flight capture in the second one and the lighting and pose in the third one is magnificent! Well done! :)

First one is fantastic!

I'd rotate the picture a tad to straighten the water's surface (I find water that isn't horizontal weird to look at); and I'd clone out the goose's head on the right.

Nice series Wayne and much like you described when I saw you late morning. Nice light and that first one tells the story although the second serves to show the intensity of the situation.

You are killer with that 400 lens. Well done on all the shots. Number two is rather special.

Those are cool! I like the contrast in the last one best, but they are all great action shots!
