Touchdown

Posted on January 9, 2015 by Katrina W

I lucked out the day I captured this image of migrating Canada geese landing in a nearby marina. They don’t usually land right in front of me, let alone in a large group like these. I guess they didn’t see me standing under a tree.

Such a great capture Katrina. I blew up the image to observe every single goose and was delighted by the varied poses. Not a sinke bird is in the same flying position! A real feast!

Amazing! It reminds me of one of those little flip books where there is a drawing on each page and you flip it quickly and see the movement of whatever is drawn. Really great processing!
