I saw someting like this once, but didn't get my camera up in time for "the shot". Apparent there was a thin layer of ice over the water, and the geese didn't quite realize it.
Great capture here, of both the moment, and scene. Would you perhaps consider cloning, or cropping out those fence posts up top? It (a crop) would give you a wider shot, which would focus more on the action itself.
Please, even if you don't visit my gallery, check out my "Faves".I've left them intact since day "1", and would like it if every image there got the attention they deserved.
What a great capture. I think there is a perception that wildlife are to graceful and don't make mistakes on their own. Not true. What an excellent example. Oh, as far as photo quality, I think it is excellent.
Too funny!!
