The BG is awesome

And I would have to say knowing you, the color is absolutely natural

Just one thing buddy, do I see a little 'boogy' in that nostril

Very cool portrait.

Dang, I hate to be wrong

Yes sir, I retract my statement completely...............It should have read, you can even see right through to the other side on this goose

Nice job 'cropmaster'

Karl, get your bad habits out of Dave's post, you picker you!

As the Great Picker, Karl, noted, the bg is killer, love it. The goose, well Dave, that has your signature eye. I don't know what you do but all your top notch shots have that eye. Nice detail all the way down the neck.

For those who don't know why the neck is so good, this is a text book example of matching the subject's plane with the sensor's plane.

Anybody else notice this?

I think the goose may have preferred if you got his "good" side... JK Everything about this picture is fantastic--color, sharpness, detail. I could go on, but it would be pointless! Fantastic!
