Canada Geese in Flight

[ChrisH]

Taken this morning on the banks of the River Thames. Although cold the weather was sunny and spring like. This must have been picked up by the bird-life as there were many swans, geese and ducks taking to flight and even a heron.

This is a pair of Canada Geese.

I like the contrast on the wings, Chris with the latter flapping upward while the former goes downward. Though the specular reflection on the water is a bit distracting (overpowering the birds) I think it is still a nice image. I wonder how your shot would look like if a polarizing filter was used with the lens? Nice work.

Thanks Jiro. I have in fact changed the image as I felt the original was too dark. This has also toned down the dominance of the water a tad.
