Absolutely amazing! This is as spectacular for its detail and sharp focus as it is for the outstanding luck to get such an unusual shot. You really made this birder jealous!

I absolutely love this shot! So refreshingly new. What a lucky combination of luck and skill. Nature never ceases to amaze me.

I am astonished, not only by the photo, but by the “fearful symmetry” of the goose.

My favourite goose and an amazing image!
I am from UK and will always remember my time on Maria Island amongst these fabulous geese. I took hunderds of images of them but just one would have been sufficient if it had been as wonderful as this one! Congratulations from Mo
