Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia
Wonderful. It makes me smile, Lorraine. There appears to be a certain fear on the part of the giver.

I like the framing here, the lady giving the chip definitely looks a little fearful of her feathered visitor! :) Nice catch

Very funny shot. The woman seems like she's in a concrete bunker and that goose doesn't seem in the least afraid. Nice capture.

Illuci from Hurdegaryp, Netherlands
Here the geese and wild ducks are not that willing to approach so close! I think European birds are hunted more in France and Spain, in our country they are protected but they don't see difference between French and Dutch of course. "Fries" is in Dutch "inhabitant of Friesland" :), or "Friesian". Nice B&W capture with contrast between soft and vivid life (goose, woman), and dead and massive concrete (bench and table).
26 Apr 2008 10:52am
@Illuci: Your comment is always so interesting, thanks a lot Erik, I appreciate that you take the time to really look at a photo :)
@Scotfot: ...a pleasure to have you visit Bob, thanks a lot :)
@yiannis krikis: I appreciate that Yiannis, thanks :)
Janice Thomson from Canada
What a neat capture - wonder if the goose took it...reminds me of the commercial where the animal wanted ketchup too LOL
26 Apr 2008 3:59pm
@Janice Thomson: I love ketchup...but not on my fries, on rice actually...how weird am I lol and YES he did right after she backed off, thanks always mon amie ;)
@Ina: Yes indeed Ina, right after she moved back to her seat ;)
