An Accidental Capture · **7 Likes**

I didn't realize birds (geese?) were in this shot I had taken until I downloaded the images for editing. It's not the best, IQ-wise, but I thought it was worth sharing.

Wow, this is a very nice photo!

Accident or not I like it. Great shot.

Awesome. Great perspective!

If there was ever a true "accidental shot," this would be it. I had set the camera on a 12-second delay and accidentally tripped the shutter and walked away from the camera. It took the photo while I was off fooling around. I had no idea the camera had even captured an image until I downloaded them for editing. Pure luck.

Wow! That's certainly an accident. But the image itself is a well composed shot - composed by timer. It's a good image. Thanks.

One definite like from me. This truly one of your best efforts. Nothing to not love about this image. Most impressive sir.

Amazing - did you try to process it and reduce the noise? It may help a bit

Yes, I spent a little time trying to improve on the technical aspects of it, but.... what you see is about as good as I could manage. Thanks for your visit and comments.
