DSC_0102.jpg

This Swan and its juvenile off-spring resting on a goose nest caught my eye. I set up to shoot, manually focused, and was pressing the shutter button when the sun broke through to illuminate only the back drop of reeds as four Canada geese flew by at low level. Just kept my finger pressed down and got several shots as the geese flew by, this was the pick of the bunch. Not the best technical shot of the day because of a slight focussing error but this was my favourite and the one I chose to print to hang on the wall.
