One of my favorite outings is my annual gosling shoot. This year I took my son Gerald along to Alley Pond Park in New York City and his quote is the subject.

Comments and suggestions welcome.

Morris, that’s a cute fella but the WB is way off (too cool) and is lacking contrast.The gosling also only seems to be somewhat crisp around the beak, maybe softening was done intentionally in PP ?

Great capture Morris that one looks just hours old.

Thank you Shaun,

What is your WB reference? Goslings are low contrast so they can survive. If you are not seeing every feather then your monitor is ill.

Thank you Anthony,

A better beamer is a lens for the flash that extends it’s range and/or reduces the amount of power required.
