Description


I loved the blue eye of this goose.
So to enhance it I played with the white color.

Beautiful capture Mata. I have a similar shot where I changed the BG to greyscale to enhance the white and blue of the goose! These blue eyes are amazing, especially with the orange rim around the edge which acts as a natural highlighter. No money wasted on eyeliner or mascara there! Great shot and the title is superb - I will be singing that song all day now! #327863

Danilo Piccioni October 17, 2005

il profilo e anatomico e sembra messo appunto per diminuire l'attrito con il vento di quando volano....
la natura è ingegnosa, guarda un pò! gli ha fatto pure gli occhi azzurri per fare colpo sulle altre oche! LOL #1962335
