    Thank you all, for your warm welcome to FC. And your generous comments on my feathered friend, he after all is the star :-)

    Yes, it is really a unique shot of this beauty !
    You really have some pretty gooses in Thames !!!

    The pic ... since i know the original, let me give you a tip. If it is possible, i'd try to avoid a compression of the jpg which is more than 30% (70% quality). Due to the big size of this beautiful animal you needed to do a harsh compression to get it on 130kB
    I would have made it a little smaller (750x750 Pixel for example) so you could perfform a slighter compression to get it to 130kb ^^

    I am really fascinated of this pearly water on it's feathers !! I can't wait to see more of your treasures !!!

    i agree with Jaq, great capture, and i love it how when they play in the water, their feathers are waterproof in a way so it all just glides off, great colours
