Pink footed Geese at Dusk ll
Another shot from the encounter I had with these pink feet the other day. I got lots of chances as small flocks of geese where constantly flying in to join the rest which was feeding on sugar beet. The timing was just right on this shot.

Canon 1Ds MK11 500mm lens, ISO 200

Looks a bit "odd" to me Danny - the geese look a bit small in comparison to the mill - spatially the image doesn't quite sit right for me - unless me eyes are completely shot to blazes :eek:

Definitely the better of the two images Danny. Such an unusual scene.

Looking at this again after Andy's comment, I can see what he means It does look a little odd, but maybe just an optical thing.
Cheers

I omitted to comment on this when I first saw it. Suffice to say it inspired me to go to my local reserve today to try something similar - no luck though. Cracking image!
