Description

I made this image by shooting through a hole in a chain-link fence at a very low angle. I waited until my subject walked into the composition ...

I was wondering how you got so close, Donna. lol Nice shot! #348354

Donna R. Moratelli January 26, 2004

Hi Kathleen; It wasn't easy to get so close to them. They are VERY AGGRESSIVE!. The foreground bird started pecking but I got away real fast. I guess it's just bravery and quick reflexes. hehehe.. Thanks for the comment.

Hi Carolyn and Theresa. Thanks!! #348367

**I may have made a mistake about the camera that I used.

I'm not positive but, it was either the Canon G3 or the Canon D60.I lost some files during a save and reload, and this is one of the images that I can't find any info on. Sorry but, I'm not sure! I'm just happy that I saved it before it was lost forever because it wasn't easy to be as close to those geese as it may appear.** #348891
