 This goose took over an Osprey nest next to a large lake. The nest is 50 feet above the water. It was laying on eggs. I wonder what will happen when the eggs hatch? How will the chicks get down???
Overcast, poor light, taken 100 yds away with sigma 28-200.

Sorry... out of focus, exposure settings off, and as far as I can see... no relationship to Pi. I think you could have done a good deal better.

Interesting shot though and I can understand why you wanted to enter it somewhere.

Not sure what this has to do with the challenge.

Not very sharp, and where is pi? Branches in lower right are distracting.

I think this would do better if it was better focussed and the color processed a bit more dramatic, good idea tho

I would probably crank up the saturation and contrast for this picture. Also, maybe play with the on-camera white balance and exposure to make sure the colors came out a little crisper.
