Chased the geese around the golf course early in the morning before anybody else was around. My wife said she wished she had a picture of me chasing the geese. It would have made a more interesting "Motion" picture!

Brilliant capture. Very difficult to get right but you have managed very well indeed to grab and portray the flight of the bird. (was it coming in to land, did you not get the splashdown?)
Wow, great panning of a difficult to capture subject. However, a few things could improve your shot. If you have to centre any part of an animal, centre the eyes. This is the focus. With a shot like this though, have the bird at the edge of the frame flying into plenty of negative space. I would flip the picture horizontally so he is flying from left to right. And I would select the background, and adjust the colours/levels so that the subject is seperated from the background more.
Excellent pannig job.. I know how difficult this shot can be. I have tried quite a few myself with only a few decent results. I think the only area for improvement would be moving the subject off dead center in the composition. The noise level is also a bit high for a color image, IMO. = 6
