Here's the lighter version. There isn't any more room on the bottom without manufacturing it.

The weather wasn't as cooperative as the geese were. This was at the pond on the back side of the Marsh Loop.

20D, 500/4L IS + 1.4X TC II, Gitzo 410 + BH1 + Sidekick, 550EX + Project A Flash @ -1 1/3,, ISO 200, 1/400 @ f/8

Love the eye contact, Jim. Image could be slightly brighter. A little more at the bottom would be great for the virtual feet.

I like the composition. I think it could be a bit brighter too.

A little brighter and more room around would have been nice, Jim! :roll:

I like the repost, but would also like more room and a head turn.

Very cool to see this. Wish I would have had a close encounter like this. You took good advantage of this one. I like the lighter repost.
