I don't usually like comments or give them, but since candids are near and dear to my heart, I have decided to comment on every photo in this challenge.

We all know that older men and women do well in such challenges. This is no exception. However, I would have liked to see this in a deep sepia tone and some HMS used in order to bring out the details more. Could have also used some USM if you hadn't used it. Needs to have what you are trying to portray enhanced. There is quite a bit of interest around the eyes. It's a good (6) photo as is.

The backlighting is very nice here. I think this would have a stronger impact if the background was burned in a little. Nice work.

Nice contrast between the pure white of the goose and the murky water.

Good closeup with nice saturation of the orange beak and no blown highlights on the goose. The white blur in the top right corner is very distracting. The color of the water is also not very appealing. A selective desaturation, black/white conversion, or even a sepia tone may have balanced the image.
