Goose: Positive and Negative

I can’t seem to get away from the geese at the moment. The greylags were out and about as usual. I took a few standard shots of them: landing on Falmer pond, grazing the grassy banks, swimming. And then I turned to taking detail shots of their feather patterns. The final shot is a colour inversion (negative) created in Lightroom.

      Darko, in blue it reminds me of armour plating!

        Exactly, like it’s made of steel plates!

          It also puts me in mind of a motorcycle helmet for some reason.
