Any pertinent technical details: I got these guys flying over while down at the Merced NWR. It was challenging isolating this smaller subject area from a large flock. Shot with my D500, Nikon 2-500, 1/2000th, f/71, ISO 1250, 350mm, cropped to 2425 x 1622, hand held.

Nice to get 3 sharp but bad wing position and shadows.

A very nice grouping, Dave. I like the separation between the geese and the variety of wing positions.

Nice trio with good facial detail. I wonder if you could bring out some of the shadow detail. Also, the sky seems a bit too blue for my taste.

Nice job getting three together. I agree with Dan that the shadows aren’t ideal. The large crop also looks like it hurt the IQ.
