Always thrilled when my 55-250 mm lens lets me do a bit more than I have any right to expect (close crops of small subjects). #1 - I tried brightening but ended up liking muted better. #3 - if anyone would be willing to give the sky a bit of color, I'd be most appreciative. #4 - who knew Canada geese displaced so much water on landing :)
Love these birds. I guess they get their name from the waxy look of their feathers?
Here is one of the photos with a blue sky.
