Following You -Pinkfoot Geese
Photo of these three Pinkfoot Geese flying as the sun was setting here at Norfolk.The lead bird is captured calling to the others which just adds a little to the image I feel as these birds when in flight are always in contact with each other.

Nice grouping Craig. :toast:

I'm torn between wanting the birds bigger in the frame to get more detail or perhaps a panorama crop. Can't make up my mind. :frown: :frown:

This is beautiful Craig, the light and colour in the background is superb - a wonderful setting for the Pinkfoot :toast: :toast:

A shame there is no sound to go with this.:smile: :wink: A really evocative image. Excellent.
I think I prefer the first even though I am an ardent fan of panoramic images. :wink:

I had one like this with cranes and I called it "talking them down!"

Very nice image.

Lovely image. I like to see a bit of pace (environment) around the subject. Especially when it involves such lovely colours.

nice capture, love the sky, but perhaps a panoramic type crop would suit better for me (I know that would lose the sky which is why its cropped as it is)

well captured though

cheers

Liking the second crop Craig. Lovely colours and that open beak on the leader makes the image imo.
