I went to Middle Creek the other day, which is one of the major Snow Goose and Tundra Swan migration spots on their way north. Because of the mild winters, the last two years have been pretty bad for photographing them. Most of the Geese and Swans didn't gather there this year again since there is no snow on the ground. This image is one from two years ago.

Very nice image Axel. The lighting is fantastic and I am struck by the beautiful detail you have been able to capture in both the blacks and whites. Well done!

I love this image Axel. Besides being sharp with a great pose and background it has such dramatic lighting. It doesn't get any better!
