It does not get any better than this Eggz. Such an outstanding capture. You must have been excited when you saw what you had captured so clearly. I especially like how the reflections merge. Your new studio is great.

Coming around the backstretch, YES! It's WHITETHROAT BY A NOSE, err BEAK! But the officials now have a problem. With both geese out of the water, which one was Whitethroat? :) They're BOTH claiming the win!
Cute pic, very amusing, fun to have on my desktop!

Being in the right place at the right time is one thing, getting a capture like this quite another. Well done!

Good timing and a good good shot, indeed, Gregg.

Their courtship rituals are ... er, excuse this descriptor as I can't think of another ... exciting to watch. Intricate and quite balletic to see.

Good detail and clarity.

Well done on capturing this moment. And but of course, thank you for sharing this one with us. :o)
