He provides a beautiful contrast with the green background. And he had just enough time to look through the lens and smile.

He's such a funny duck with those puffy cheeks and big beak! Lovely shot and detail in your blue eyed Goose. The feather textures are stunning! :-)

Good goose shot, and I also just learned about what Aflac was - very funny - and I do think your goose is better looking.

Seeing a goose so closely, one understands more of the character of grandma Duck's servant, it makes you love geese!
