And worth publishing again- excellent shot.

Superb.

Beautiful colours and cloud formation coming from this sunset, and with the birds to enhance it even more...just perfect.
A lovely capture indeed Jaap.

Very attractive shot - a nice wall-hanger or calendar page, imho. The colours, framing and sharpness are all superb.

Ahem

A bit overwhelmed, my friends. Thanks for all the compliments

It was taken two minutes walk from my house; it is a nature reserve that is one of the main feeding grounds for all kinds of geese on their migration. Plenty of other birds there as well.

Stunning colors and the birds are so sharp.

Superb picture, Jaap, you chose the perfect moment for the positioning of the birds ... do you remeber the time used ? With 100 ASA is difficult to have the birds so well stopped... but I suppose the Lux was wide open or near.

jaapv · 10/04/07, 11:10 AM

Thank you, Luigi and Harry. Indeed I do not know the speed, Luigi, no EXIF

, but I am sure the lens is wide open, as I put the focal plane visibly on the birds.
