Geese? Geese? No geese here...

These belong to a neighbour about 500m from us: they should have been on a festive table about three years ago... but they have a certain way of looking at you!

They do have the merit of being good guards - unless you pass regularly like us, in which case you are totally ignored, as you can see.

On black is good!

Wonderful capture - each eye manages to be in a block of the fence rather than behind the wire.

Nobody who knows geese would take one on!

They re super attractive, even if a bit intimidating. I wouldn’t be the one who would be wringing their necks to make dinner.

A nice photo of the geese. I like the brightly colored beaks and clear eyes.

[Cathy]

Quite the trio!

I love this capture and am glad you captured it in color. The beaks and eyes really stand out.

Do you generally shoot digital in color and convert to B&W?

[Islandgirl]

Such a cute capture!

[Jane Pittenger]

They certainly have their eyes on you

This image looks super on black...great details.

Hahaaaa!!! I once met a lady who had 4 sheep for the very same reason: they were all lambs and should have been in the oven, but... So she had to sheperd (is this the word?) them. She worked as a chemical engineer in a chemical factory.
A most beautiful shot - surprisingly colourful.

I like the colour of their beaks.

@monikozi It won’t surprise you to learn that the owner of the geese also has 4, now elderly, black sheep ;-)

[Delwyn Barnett]

Great pic - they look such characters.

Very cute capture

@lynbonn Hi Lynda - if I'm processing my images then, yes, that's what I do. This allows me to adjust the grey value of every colour which is a powerful tool when you're trying to create a dynamic image.

[Lynda]

@vignouse yes, I do the same.

[Francoise]

Love this one
