excelent shot!!!!

@Hans: Thanks a lot Hans lol ;)

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 5:52am

@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 from Kabul, Afghanistan

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 10:59am

@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 from Krugersdorp, South Africa

Nice one! Did he take it? :)

26 Apr 2008 3:13pm
