Canada Goose, The Colony

This majestic creature came and posed for me, water dripping and all. Now if I can just work with my depth of field.

You got really close it appears.

It was one of a pair. This one came up to the edge of the pond. Biggest challenge was the focusing the lens. Its an EF 75-300mm at 180mm at about three feet distance. These guys just wouldn't stay still for a second . Manual focus on this lens is horrible, so it was set to AF, which did an ok job on getting the head and water drops into clear focus.

I like the water droplets dripping off the beak. Nicely caught.
