Hi Antonio,
I think that they are just lining you up ready to attack!
A good opportunistic photo to get them with such good reflections in the rain produced pool.
cheers
Ian

Une belle prise de ces volatiles qui sembles s'ignorer. Les reflets sont superbement saisis.
Merci pour cette belle image et bonne journe.

Bonjour, cher Antonio,
Belle ignorance entre ces deux volatiles. La posture de ces palmipèdes dont le reflet dans l'eau est très amusante !
Un très bon cadrage.
Amitiés.
Philippe

António,
gostei muito do seu POV mesclando o real do reflexo na água. Até porque ele denuncia o azul cristalino do céu!
Bela mostra dos nossos amigos gansos.
Abraços,
Wagner.

Olá António!
Os gansos ficaram muito bem enquadrados, realmente parecem mesmo zangados. O reflexo na água está excelente.

Hi Antonio, This is a nice 'fun' picture. Their personalities are improved by the repetition and the lovely reflections.(Do you know which one is the goose and which the gander? Maybe they are the same sex and on the look out for a mate, he he. Regards kevin

Bonjour Antonio,
3 caractéristiques à mes yeux:
- cocasse et sympathqiue
- simple
- bien construite dans un format vertical bien choisi qui prend soin des reflets.
Mes amitiés.
Daniel.

Hello Antonio
Lovely composition. Nice verticle.
Great reflections and funny title.
Yes, they are very comparable to a married couple in dispute :))
Well seen.
Regards,
Graham.

Olá, Antonio!
Acho que eles estão se sentindo no céu com todo esse azul aos seus pés. Linda foto e destaque para os belíssimos reflexos e cores. Parabéns e abraço!

sacavem (8255) 2009-11-04 9:02

Olá Antonio,

Gosto do titulo :)
Gansos zangados ou não ficaram muito bem na pose para a fotografia.Belo reflexo simétrico.

Olá António,

Muito boa captura! Os gansos ficaram muito bem nesta composição, reflexos magníficos das aves e de um belo céu azul. Belas cores, luz e nitidez.

Abraços
Leonor

gervaso (5166) 2009-11-04 15:46

Olá, António!

Pela expressão deles, parece que o pobre coitado do pato vai ter que dormir no sofá hoje! Belo flagrante dos bichos! Além do humor, a foto tem bonitos reflexos e excelentes cores! Belo trabalho!

riclopes (32977) 2009-11-05 4:38

haha, bem apanhada, António. A mensagem simples e sucinta só reforça o humor que quiseste trasmitir. Bonito retrato da parelha. O reflexo está ainda melhor que o real mas o todo é graficamente atraente.

Ciao Antonio,
davvero molto bella questa foto, dove il bel riflesso delle oche riempie piacevolmente il fotogramma dando maggiore corposità alla composizione.
Ottima la gestione della luce e lo sharp.

Have a nice day!
Francesco

Hello Antonio, Well done, beautiful reflections & contrasting colours, I can picture my wife & I here, oops hope she does not read this. ;-)The rain helped not only with the ducks but also with the reflections. As they say when it rains " good weather, for ducks"
Thanks
Take care
Santo

The quality of your shot is outstanding. An excellent sharpness and a brilliant light. The gooses, reflected on the surface of the pool are stunning.
Thanks for sharing,

Olá Antonio

Uma beleza de foto. Incrível que parecem mesmo não querer conversa um com o outro, mas a imagem dos dois está excelente, com reflexos perfeitos.
Abraços

Ola Antonio

Muito bem apanhados, o reflexo ficou muito bem, e claro o titulo da foto tambem muito apropriado.

batalay (20898) 2009-11-12 2:23

Hello Antonio,

A well timed, humorous photo. Actually, since birds cannot look straight ahead, they are both eyeing the photographer, both with a suspicious eye.

Warm regards,

Bulent
