Photographer’s Note
Out with my camera the other night when these Canadian Geese flew past me, what else can you do but – snap.
Hope you enjoy.
Cheers, Paul.

Hi Paul,
An excellent shot, you have perfectly captured the silhouettes of these geese flying in a magnificent backlighting, trimmed in a precious sky.
Exposure is well managed and the colors have been smooth and natural. I also like the sky.
Well done.
Regards,
Josep

Very nice shot Paul, colours of the cloudy sky and those free birds in the sky make a very strong composition.
Well done.

Hi Paul,
Very nice minimalist picture with the birds and clouded sky as background.
The light and colours of your photo are great as also the birds that appear only as silhouettes against this coloured sky.
Well seen and captured.
Rgds.

Paul, ce pourrait faire l'affiche d'un film sur les oiseaux migrateurs. J'aime ce ciel tout en tons très doux et ces oiseaux qui s'en détachent. Belle réalisation !

Hi Paul, Very good natural composition of these high fliers. Good opening in the clouds to make them stand out even more. Excellent capture. Murray.

Bonjour Paul,
des silhouettes bien nettes qui se détachent d'un ciel aux couleurs pastels et tendres, cela donne beaucoup de poésie à cette photo.
Les vols migratoires ou la condition de survie pour ces oiseaux, rares sont ceux qui ne partent pas et qui survivent.
Une photo aussi symbôle de liberté.
Best regards.
Daniel.

Hi Paul,
That is stunning!! I had no idea Canadian Geese flew THAT far south : ) I don't think I've ever seen a photo of flying geese I like better.

Out of all the images of flying geese, this one would stand out because of the perfect balance between the the colors of the sky and rythmic pattern of the flying formation.
Well seen and captured,
Cheers,
