Balancing Act

I love shooting silhouettes, especially into reflected sunsets or sunrises, with a long lens for that abstract look. This pair of Canada geese cooperated, holding perfectly still in the late afternoon light. Do you know why geese and other birds stand on one leg? Because if they lifted BOTH legs, they would fall!
