i was bored and went to feed the ducks. took a pic of this big goose

what kind of goos is this

I really like the picture.
I the duck is perfekt for the background.

It is a Canada Goose.

Yeah - it's a Canadian goose. So that's where they go during the summer! Sweet.

Picture is nicely focused on,

yeah it was about 90 here today. i was surprised you dont usually see alot of those geese here until may or so they are alot friendlier than the ducks

Hey! What's wrong with the ducks? lol
Those ducks I have seen in Sweden were all very friendly and not very shy either probably because people usually feed them with bread and stuff.
hmm I think I have only seen Canadian geese flying in the sky but never seen them walking on the ground lol. Very nice shot though. Were you that close to it or did you use a long focal length?

I like the quality and subject focus.

Yikes. Haha. That's not too bad... I don't use F in temperature, but I can somewhat guess that it was really warm there.

The geese here are friendly, but right when you get near their nests, they can be total chaotic and violent. Lol.

i was about 4 feet.. or a little over a meter away. i was using a 28-70 on a 5d. i had to use a high aperture because it was so bright outside, i didnt want everything to be washed out. i was feeding them bread. the ducks are scared because children often chase them when they are on the grass.. but i guess the geese bite if you get to close

Yeah - they sure do bite - haha. Try canoeing around their nests, and you have no where else to go but pass their nests. Were they ever angry! Haha so the kids chase the ducks? that's funny.
