Gosh, how close were you to that Goosander? I really like it.

Great capture with the Goosander Gary, they're a fast flying bird and not easy when you're so close

Have you tried pulling the whites back a bit?

Thank Di for viewing and commenting.
About 15 meters.

Thanks Phil.
I got 6 shots of the goosander in flight and that was the only keeper. In PS I pulled back the highlights a fair bit as the whites were blown somewhat .
