Working with animals, especially geese, is hard. When we got this assignment, I decided to go to the nature pond. Unfortunately, I couldn't get close enough to any of the ducks without scaring them away. Luckily, a family showed up with bread to feed the ducks, and they all came ashore. The first picture was taken of a big goose (you can't tell in the picture, but it was actually the size of a 4 year old child). I got a little too close to the goose, and it began to flap its wings and squawk at me (Don't worry, I got away before it could bite). All of the pictures were taken with a Sony camera from the library. It was bright outside, so I generally used an aperture around 5.0. Other than sizing, no other editing was done to the pictures.

  1. I like the photo of the mad goose. The Floating Duck I would have framed a bit farther to the left giving the duck more room with in the frame. The Purple Pansie photo has some great color!

  4. I agree with the above. The duck shot is great, though I wish his foot hadn't been cut off
