Amazing shot! The background is perfect, it frames the geese perfectly instead of making them disappear. Well done!
Adalberto Tiburzi16-Sep-2004 11:03
Me too I wish I could do that. But in my daily walks I run into a totally different kind of stuff!
Superb capture.
Chris Brooker16-Sep-2004 09:17
Well done Larry. First class.
jypsee16-Sep-2004 03:12
Mighty darn good....I'm sooooo not good at this!!
Guest 15-Sep-2004 13:54
Beautiful shot Larry...just georgeous!
snootydog15-Sep-2004 12:36
As I see someone else has commented already, this has a very "winged migration" feel to it. That was a phenomenal piece of artwork just as this is a beautiful photo. You got the focus against the soft background so nicely.
Guest 15-Sep-2004 09:43
Splendid - (Wish I could do that)
Wendy Stanford15-Sep-2004 02:23
This makes me feel like I'm right up there flying along with them. What an incredibly great photo (like all of yours that I've seen so far)!
Lisa Schlender15-Sep-2004 02:09
Wonderful shot...and so clear!
Karen Leaf15-Sep-2004 01:53
Amazing Larry! Glad you kept practicing. Amazing.

Jill14-Sep-2004 13:07
Each change of season there are a flock of geese that fly over my home. As I have stood and watched them - never have been able to capture them via camera. This is such a fantastic visual this morning. Amazing they are and it shows in your image.
Guest 14-Sep-2004 12:43
Superb Larry. What more can I say!! ;)
katwilkens14-Sep-2004 12:42
A thrilling photo!!
Guest 14-Sep-2004 12:32
You can start an "all time best" category with this photo!
Guest 14-Sep-2004 12:26
Excellent! Particularly like the geese caught in flight, the DOF, and the composition (flying from bottom right to top left).
Herb 14-Sep-2004 12:19
Outstanding
Gayle P. Clement14-Sep-2004 12:11
Larry,
This is wonderful. You've caught so many in flight at once. The solid background of trees adds a really unusual look. Super job!
Yvonne14-Sep-2004 12:03
Wonderful! I don't think we have anything to compare in Australia.
You have an amazing eye & control to have captured them in motion.
Chris14-Sep-2004 11:56
superb. CH
petesie14-Sep-2004 11:24
This one is awesome. It gives the feeling of flying with them. My vote, too.
Larry Ahern14-Sep-2004 11:08
Well Howard this picture was taken with a 300MM zoom at full zoom. It was hand held. I was walking along the shore of a local pond and saw the geese feeding. They flew when they saw me coming. I have practiced a lot at getting moving objects at full zoom hand held. Hundreds of blury messes deleted in the process ... thank god for digital:)
Guest 14-Sep-2004 10:54
I do like this. Any help for the rest of us? Like did you have to grab your camera for a quick shot? Do you shoot automatic, or were you waiting, prepared with a fast shutter speed to catch those wings? For me, I seldom can prepare, so I have to toss that camera up quickly and then miss the shot. But that's me.
Lori Rolfe14-Sep-2004 10:21
perfect focus....very distinct from background... I guess these guys have a long trip ahead of them..... great image!!!
René Gysi14-Sep-2004 10:20

Karen Stuebing14-Sep-2004 09:47

joshishots14-Sep-2004 09:34
great shot - it looks spot on on sharpness, I love how we can see all the different stages of their wings in motion.
laine8214-Sep-2004 09:23
