Canada Geese (Branta canadensis)
Narrows Reserve, Beavercreek Ohio
"Subject matter is subject that matters." - Fredrick Summer
By this point I would argue that Canada Geese are a tired subject, having built up a large assortment of images over the years. Derspite that, they are large and approachable in a lot of habitats. In this case, I found this pair along the Little Miami River. Resting on this piece of driftwood, they weren't too concerned by me being around them. My 150-600mm zoom lens made the moment easy to capture.
The overall brown tones of the image are something I like about this particular image. That single color is the primary focus here, and color can affect the mood and stability of the photo. That little pop of color with the black and white of the geese just adds that extra touch. Your eyes are lead there from the geese at the tip of the driftwood to the end at the right. Who says wildlife images can't both document and be artful?
