Canadian Invasion, a photo from Illinois, Midwest

Photographer's Note

A gaggle of Canadian geese at Chicago's Lincoln Park

These are now resident geese in Lincoln Park where they make their nest. It seems like they have adapted well and are thriving in this part of the city. I've seen them around in different parts of the park and this day, they were in full procession on the canal where the rowing club practices.

Very funny title for a funny photograph. The angle makes the composition. Well seen and done.

Fantastic capture Ken! Wonderful composition with the geese leading the eye to the bouys and from there Chigago's most impressive skyline.

Great shot, Ken, seeing Hancock on the thumbnail I immediately knew the artist :-) Good perspective and fun scene with the diagonal flock of ducks seemingly headed for downtown. Good contrast and details, even during less than ideal weather. Well captured.

Good image with a nice diagonal composition and a great title. The sky is overexposed, but I thing there isn't much to do about that, except crop it right above the antennae (50 pixel).

One of these days, Alice....one of these days !!

great shot.
Too much skies? Just above the Hancock's antennas cropping would be OK (just thinking)
