[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
They must be completely exhausted. Since the route which the arctic wild geese have behind themselves if they arrive in Bislich from the Lower Rhine encloses impressive 6,000 kilometers. Siberia - Moscow - Poland - Brandenburg - the Lower Rhine - these are the stations of a flight whose stages do not enclose less than 1,000 kilometers. The Non stop flights which must make even the latest members of the goose's families behind themselves to survive.
In the most northern Siberia the first snow can already fall at the middle of August, then the general living conditions get worse since for this reasons it pulls them so far back in the south .

Hi Hermann!
You captured the motion perfectly! The picture simply takes our breath away! The colors are stunning, beautiful and tender to the eye! And .. you managed a perfect contrast between the sky and the geeses!
Congratulations.

Hi Herman. What a lovely capture of these migratory birds...you have a lovely big triangle filling up your frame against a nicely coloured sky with a few pink puffs here and there. Very good work indeed. TFS

Hello Hermann, thanks for inviting me to see your nice photo. Even if the birds are less colourful than mine, on the other hand, your sky is very colourful :)

Great shot, it's not easy to capture them in flight and enclose them all.

Great work! Yan :)

Fine shot.
Steve

Hi Hermann

I like the v formation of the birds & the repetition. The warm cold color opposition, between the blue & pink, is superb. Congratulations!

Oh, die Wildgänse ... wie schön! Und ein schöner farbenfroher Himmel. Schönes Ereignis. Schönes Foto!

Beautifully captured with the ideal background.

At the moment they don't cross Asia, no problem ..
A very beautiful V like victory.
Compliments
