Any pertinent technical details: I got this shot down at Merced National Wildlife Refuge with My D500 at 1/2000th, f/7.1, ISO 1250, 390mm, hand held, 2175 x 1616 crop.

I like the single goose landing in the mob, Dave. Your detail looks pretty good for that large a crop. Some of the brighter whites look blown. I try to remember to take periodic test shots, particularly in changing light, to look for “blinkies” and adjust exposure accordingly. I’m afraid the foreground reeds are a bit of a distraction.

A nicely composed image.

This is crowded, but this is the way I have seen them during migration, so it is very realistic. It gives the feeling of the large flocks that one sees. I agree about the foreground reeds.
