While I'm on my black and white kick, here's Canada geese at Wrights Lake in the northern Sierra. The photo was taken from a kayak.
The focus is a soft on the goose in front. But the composition is strong and helps overcome the shallow depth of field.
It's hard in a boat -- especially on a cloudy afternoon -- to shoot fast enough to freeze the action and at a small enough aperture to get a depth of field. The telephoto lens makes the geese look closer than they actually were.
Camera & Lens: Nikon D5100, Nikon 70-300mm telephoto lens at 300mm, ISO 400, f/8, 1/320th. Shot in RAW and processed in Lightroom.
