Canada Goose eating
- Reason
- The original is my favorite. When I was taking these at a local pond, I noticed the reflection and immediately knew it would be a cool picture. The problem was that the bird as moving its head really quickly in some kind of drinking technique and the winter sun didn't allow a very high shutter speed. The alternative is maybe more illustrative and sharper but lacks that artist merit of the original.

- ha ha, now that you mention it. There didn't seem to be much food on that piece of ice. You are probably right. :-) - Fcb981( talk: contribs) 03:29, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
- Are you really sure? If it wanted to drink why choose such a shallow puddle when there's a large body of water behind? The bird could be digging for some insects living under the surface. Nice image and the reflection is beautifully done, support either. Jeff Dahl ( Talk • contribs) 19:28, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

- Support original only. Very attractive composition, meets other criteria, but can you do something about your metadata ASAP - these two images, as well as the two above, say they were created on Jan 25, 2008, which strikes me as highly unlikely, and not very appropriate. -- jjron ( talk) 11:31, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
- I'll fix it on my camera now... Ok done. I think it has been like that since I first set it up. At this point, I'm not sure how to alter meta-data that has already been recorded. - Fcb981( talk: contribs) 23:02, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
- OK. There are applications that allow you to edit exif data on photos (I don't know of any free ones on Windows though, and haven't actually used any myself). In the meantime, if it's wrong, it'd probably be better just to strip it from images, such as by doing a "Save for Web" in Photoshop before uploading. -- jjron ( talk) 08:00, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
- Change the image properties manually before uploading and for those already uploaded, re-upload them. 80.255.63.28 ( talk) 08:04, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
- Support. Fantastic lighting and great symmetry in the reflection. howcheng { chat} 17:29, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
