Found this fellow in our Public Gardens the other day and he seemed to want to pose so I obliged.

Scary looking bird! Looks like something from outer space.

Love the colors, especially the nice orange bill in front of the green background. Well done. Just promise me you keep the critter there ...

He is a nice looking goose! A change from our usual suspects. Nice capture!

What a cute little guy. I can almost feel the texture of his head.

Thanks, Matt, JAS, and QuietOne. I was happy that he decided to just sit a couple feet away and let me take a few shots without really moving. So you can't notice the editing I did? Or can you?

very nice Iggy. He's a cool looking bird for sure.

no I can't see the editing. What did you do?

Thanks.

I'll post the image I started with when I get home tonight but what happened was that there is a fence between him and I and while I tried to shoot through the holes this shot, which was my favourite, had two grey out of focus bars going through his head which I removed with Gimp.
