I like the title, Peter. It really fits the scene. I do wish those four out of focus foreground swans weren’t there. The in-focus gaggle of geese with the rest in the background would have conveyed the same feel, I think and been a more pleasing composition for my personal taste.

Nice collection of birds Peter. That’s quite a gathering which pose interesting opportunities for photography. Agree with Dennis about the birds in front.

Hi Dennis & Allen
Thank you for the comments, I was following the two Swans in mid frame when I shot the photograph and I agree about the front three Swans. Here is a repost with one of the Swans removed, cloning is not a high point in DXO PhotoLab.
