 I took this shot after three trying days. Most of the fields are still snow covered. Caught some good shots in the sky but wanted a ground shot. Sun over my shoulder on the right side. I was running as fast as I could. These geese,which number in the hundreds, winter in Calgary even though it hits 40 below with the wind. Lucky to get this shot, another week of snow comming.

Like the limited palette here, and the combination of sharpness and motion blur in the goose.
