A great crisp and clear capture of rural life in myanmar. The color balance is perfect, as is the chosen depth of field.
Nice work!

It's a pretty cool photo, Yan. I really love the image quality that comes out of 5D :) Maybe I'll switch to it myself.

One remark - plural from "goose" is "geese"

Hello Yan,
Here in Norway we have an expression "gåsegang" which literally means geese march/ walk, a determined quite fast stride in a row..! This is "gåsegang" well depicted!
And we follow what is going on in Myanmar in the news, and support your hope...

Hi Yan, this is a nice symbolic shot, I like the political reference in the context of what we see in the picture... :) Good light actually!

Cheers

Colors are very good here. Probably enhanced by that divine light. Nice move focusing on that mob of geese. After all, we're all ducks in this life. Like this one a lot.

Faut espérer qu'ils ne finissent pas comme ces oies qui paradent... je croise les doigts pour que la Chine ne se manifeste pas.
PS : je te conseille un roman que je lis actuellement et qui permet de revenir sur l'atmosphère de la Birmanie, ça s'appelle "Birmane" de Christophe Ono-dit-Bio... roman bien sur, mais atmosphère et faits parfaitement décrits...

Ah well how can I hate a photo full of these cute little creatures. Good variety in colour with every duck different in some way, and some nice green bokeh to add a bit of life to the shot.

Salut Yan,
j'aime bien cette "scène quotidienne",avec en effet une belle lumière,par contre je penses que le premier plans,nos amis les canards auraient pu être un peu plus nets.

Fine composition Yan, the simplicity of burmese life.............the entire world looks to the junta at the moment waiting for their next move.

En tout cas les evenements donnent du baume au boeur... Cette junte tombera un jour mais quand ? Comme ces canards filant tous ensemble l'air décidé... J'espere que cette fois-ci le mouvement des Bonzes aboutira à de véritables réformes....

Hello Yan. A wonderful shot of geese, woman and blurry background, and also one that is so pertinent today, with the news we are receiving of the demonstrations. Your shot has beautiful light and shade, and I like the shallow depth of field, highlighting the geese. I also like the way the woman is glancing the other way! A great shot.
Regards,
Andrew

Marching ducks in a peaceful surrounding...an idyllic setting. Hope things change. Hope there is little bloodshed.

An astonishing symbolism of what is going on in Burma. Let’s hope for the best.
The magnificent light makes the photo to stand out.

Ca a commence, Yan, aujourdh'ui - les matraques, quelqeus coups de fusil aussi, plusieurs centaines de moines arretes. Je crains qu'a moins d'envahir ce pays et donner une vraie frousse a l'armee qui se renderait immediatement, c'est foutu pour le peuple. Pire grossierete que ce regime contre ce peuple si doux et sophistique. Quelle horreur.
Ta photo parcontre est pure beaute...

Hi Yan,

After seeing Gal his shot on the UN resolution for higher quality duck roast, your shot is quite appropriate! Not just for the geese in it, more for the UN resolution we are waiting for but that will never come...
When do people start to see that change needs momentum and that this momentum in such a closed country can surely need a hand from the outside world. It is sad and shameful how everyone waits and watches...

Greetings,
Dennis
