[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I had been photographing these beauties for a few months, and have hundreds of shots, but this is one of my favourite. Unfortunately, the land on which they overwintered is now being built on, so they appear to have moved elsewhere. Taken from the car.

Technically fabulous, and compositionally perfect. It's shots like this that make the cost of those lenses worth it. Nice one!
