homage to geese

One was got by a fox not so long ago, and, yesterday, the other went into retirement on a poultry farm. http://365project.org/quietpurplehaze/365/2016-02-19

I took this shot in spring 2015 and have converted it to colour for flashofred2016.

In b&w it needed some contrast and a bit of hdr added. Perhaps just to make them look as threatening as they sometimes were but I found them fascinating!

These look lovely. Rotten foxes to get one. From my understanding geese make great watch dogs?

@365projectorgjenfurj

They certainly do!

Beautiful in b/w Hazel .

Very Beatrix Potter. Sweet subjects.

Fabulous character capture. They look so good on b/w.

Sad that one of the geese is no more, but glad the other one has survived.
