These shots are quite magnificent Olli, with good detail. Focus is good and so is the exposure, well done

Great portraits, Olli.

I don't think there's a prettier goose, myself.

Sindri, Tony, Marie, Keith: very nice that you liked them.

It's really interesting to follow these proud birds. I'm still planning to get some shots with with wide angle (using tripod and remote control). >This< (external link) is how close I could get walking slowly.

Very good looking goose! The last shot is quite nice. I like how short the bill looks compared to some other types of geese.

Thanks Wayne and Jim.

You're right. That goose in #2 was hiding his head, but following me very cautiously.
