Description
I captured this Egyptian Goose in a park last summer. The light was rather bad though, so I did some postwork for it to resemble a night shot in bright moonlight! I like how the water turned out!
Thank you for popping in and for your very valued comments and favs on my 'Into the Wind' upload of yesterday!
Stay well!
Hugs, Carin xx

Outstanding Post Work Carin.
Wow, that is fabulous, love what you have done to the pic!!!!
wonderful backlit shot!
beautiful image!!!!
It is so beautiful, Carin and the water looks almost like oil :-)
I like the way it has bcome 2D!
Aaaargh! Egyptian Geese! In their wisdom nature conservation have got rid of all the alien birds in the marina, leaving the indigenous water fowl to flourish. Now the Moorhens and the Egyptians outnumber anything else. This one is rather messy and verbal come breeding season – squawking proclaiming turf all through the night from the rooftops. Aaaargh! The water is great Carin, as for the bird... a far from silent sihouette! Clive
Yes, the water is gorgeous, and we don't have these geese here, so I find them wonderful! Excellent work!
it fits all very well together, Carin. the silhouetted duck and the black parts of the waves...very nice one!
Very beautiful shot and postwork, Carin!
A great job of turning a problem photo into a work of art!
Yes, a most unique image on display here of the Egyptian Goose (how did you know it was Egyptian?) silhouetted against the interestingly patterned lake, Carin.
Great effect!
Fantastic work on bringing your vision up out of your capture.
Wonderful postwork, I like how the water came out too. I'd love to hear what your workflow was on this, if you remember. : )
Cool image!
I agree ... a lovely result! The water looks terrific. Mis jou! :X
C'est noir à en mourir... de plaisir - Magnifique ! Je savoure cette intrusion
I think its a lovely silhouette !
Makes for quite a stunning shot if you ask me... But hey! lol What do I know... lol Great one... Rob
Great shot Carin it is a great silhouette! hugs Jane xx
I really like the post work you did for this. I am sure that the original picture was quite nice too, but sometimes it is hard to keep water from reflecting too much light and washing everything out. I really like the goose shadow, I didn't even know that there were Egyptian geese, but I suppose there would be. Of course I wonder if he speaks Egyptian. I really DO like the water in this, it's very smooth but it looks like its dancing like something alive. Great effect.
In ancient Egyptian mythology a goose laid an egg and all of reality hatched out of it. I suppose the ancient Egyptians were really into their geese--enough to put them in myths. I think of that primordial goose when I see this image...the water is gorgeous...not as chaotic as the ancients saw, but it's mysterious and wonderfully intriguing nonetheless. I love the goose silhouette as well. The whole picture is wonderful in every way.
Beautiful capture, great work.
super super gorgeous!
The Goose is great but the postwork on the water is fabulous.
Awesome shot and postwork, it looks just great!
cool capture and excellent postwork, looks like this goose is naturally jet black :)
Beautiful image!!!!
Oh its beautiful! I love this!
