I was quietly looking at the water for someting to shoot when that pair of Canada geese (coming from behind me) almost brushes my shoulder to crash lands very close in front. I'd say that was my fastest shooting ever. (taken april 14 2025)

A very artistic feel to this shot Yves. It looks like you were very low to the ground. I really like the way you managed to capture the action.

This really has an otherworldly feel to it, considering how close the geese were to you and how large they appear to be as they hit the water. Great focus on detail here and an interesting story. Well done, Yves.
