    Default Three Trumpeters on a Snowy Day

    Skagit Flats near Mt. Vernon, Washington. Taken during a bit of light on a snowy day in December. Even though there is overlap, I liked the wing positions.

    Hi Terry,

    I too like the wing positions, but the overlapping birds and noise detract from the image, IMO.

    I have to agree with Jim on this one. Not an easy task to photograph multiple birds. Keep them coming!

    I actaully like the overlapping birds and the whole image design. And you finally got them flying towards you. I believe that you left the flash info out...

    Thanks very much, Artie. Maybe I'm getting those swans trained :).
    No flash was used.

    Hey Terry, Good job on the training (but it is mostly a matter of wind direction...)

    As fof the "no flash," did you add eye highlights???
