Thanks Christian!
Allthough it is mainly the birds that determine the composition,
I merely pick out the better shots :-)

Yes, shutter-speed was a bit slow (1/400 I think) which is probably
not enough to freeze the wing-tips. Will try with a slightly higher
ISO next time, and without the 1.4x converter.

Need some experimenting to find the setup that gets me the best 
sharpness on this. Cropping a little more from a 500mm shot
could work out better than the 700mm equivalent I had now.

Agreed, but I liked the timing, I would like to get one like this
more close-up, and perhaps a fraction of a second later
with goose barely touching the water ...
