I chose glamour filter for these pictures. Don’t ask me why. Maybe I needed some glamour after standing in a cow pasture (tripod in a dropping (dry one! (Thank God for that!))) watching birds for an hour or so.
Or maybe for hiding the lack of sharpness.
Anyway, this was my first bird-photo-session. Fun but difficult. The birds didn’t want to cooperate, they were not sitting still. Or floating still. The flapped around, honking and hiding.
Stupid birds.
No, they were beautiful!
(This adventurous post will also do as a contribution to WP’s Photo Challenge “afloat”.)

Great fun to get them on the skip across the water. I’ve done the same and its a hard shot to get.
Yes, they looked very funny when they ran on the surface! 😀
Nice work!
Thank you!
