Nice family outing for these geese and goslings.
The high resolution image seems a bit soft and pixelated. Could this be a result of cropping a much smaller portion of a larger original image? Perhaps your subject filled less than 50 of the frame?
I'd adjust the white balance, as there are no true whites in the scene. It looks like the the contrast was decreased which might explain the gray-scale cast to the image or maybe an auto adjustment which couldn't account for the true white on the heads of the older geese. If you are using Photoshop, try from the Menu: IMAGE > IMAGE ADJUSTMEN
... ran out of space... LOL.
Try: IMAGE > ADJUSTMENT > LEVELS, then from the user interface box, first use the WHITE POINT SAMPLE (eyedropper) and click it in the middle of the brightest white spot on one of the elder geese. Next select the BLACK POINT SAMPLE (eyedropper), and single click in the darkest part of the black neck. You'll notice a dramatic difference to the entire image in that it will look more like a Black and White photo than a under contrasted greyish one. Apart from that, I like the scene, nice capture.
Howdie stranger!
