Judges' comments:
Nice shot from the goose's level; head is soft; a little less depth of field would separate good more
Maker's notes:

This image was shot in Perrot state park at the bay that touches the campground. It was near sunset and the light was fantastic. I shot this with a Tamron 150-600mm zoom set at 600mm handheld. Since it was handheld I wanted a very high shutter speed (1/1000 sec). I obtained this by setting the ISO at 800 and aperture at f/9. That gave me about 9 inches depth of field.
