 I was taking snapshots of geese fighting at the park and a couple of reinforcements flew in.



The lighting is wrong and the focus is off but it was good timing.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I have a new respect for anyone who captures action photos. I had the perfect spot, good framing, good opportunity but no warning. The goose dropped in unannounced. No time to get proper focus. 4 bad frames later he had already landed. I need a lot more practice.

"Capture objects in the air." is the challenge description... I don't consider birds as objects... and... even if I did, I don't think you've

"Use9(d) a fast shutter speed to capture objects off-the-ground in an unusual way" since this would be a great shot, and a usual perspective (if it had been in focus)
... soo... Not sure how to vote this so will be back later.

I can almost hear him honking! Focus could have been sharper, but I appreciate you catching him at that moment.

nice composition but too much blur for me.
