Lost Goose

A recent stop in Monticello was overwhelming with hundreds of birds milling about waiting to be fed.  How can a bird be isolated in this mass of movement and sound?  How can the  movement and chaos surrounding a subject be shown?

Several titles were considered for this image.  Is the goose lost, lonely, alone,  or wandering through the crowd?  Perhaps it symbolizes a photographer observing the world.   Is it a country boy in the city?  Sunday morning ruminations.

Technical:  3 stop ND filter to allow slow shutter speed (1/10 second), 100-400 mm lens zoomed in during the exposure.  Cropped to move subject off center.
