Hi Jason,

This is a great shot, good detail particularly if the light was poor, I am afraid I dont have any suggestions as it looks perfect to me.

Cheers
Tom

Hi Jason,I usually use manual or shutter or aperture settings & pan this sort of shot,but I'm now moving over to give sport mode a try,I can't find a fault with this action shot & so sharp as well.TFS

Hi Jason,

Good timing with this shot - we have similar birds here in NZ called Canada Geese.
With these kind of shots the composition can sometimes be improved if the bird appears to be flying into the frame, perhaps cropping some of the LHS will help,
keep shooting and thanks for your comments on 'croc'
cheers
Jack

Great detail and sharpness in this bird in flight photo. Excellent detail in the feathers. As others have mentioned moving the bird to the3 first frame will help improve the photo as it will give the bird room to fly into the frame. A great start to bird photography.

Nice shot, especially considering the low light. Details are good and you've caught the feeling of flight well. Personally I think the composition is a little too central, and the goose needs to be placed to the left of the frame more to have more space to "fly into".
Thanks for sharing
