Spirit of the Bird

"spirit of the bird, not its feathers" the quote that Ann H. LeFevre @olivetreeann gives for the current flash of red February challenge....

I don't think it was quite meant this literally, but the shot I took before reading her description today. The focus isn't as sharp on the standing geese as I had hoped/thought when shooting, but the "spirit" seems to be there.

Great timing and capture

The black and white work well here.

Lots of different personalities - I love the no-nonsense feel to the big boy in the middle.

[HelenM]

Ooh! I love the blur. Definitely the spirit of the bird.

[Helen Jane]

loving your literal interpretation. I like the concept too - we do need more than just the detail in a picture. so - brief fulfilled.

[Wendy]

Love the translucence of the feathers of the flying bird - gives the whole shot a fleeting feel.
Nicely done!

[FBailey]

Like this a lot, you have feathers and spirit!
