I shot this photograph this afternoon. The skies were very overcast and gray, and the lake I was shooting at was populated by many birds, with plenty of aerial activity. I decided to raise the ISO level to 800, with the intention of whiting out the gray skies, and isolating the subjects.

As I was shooting away, I noticed two flocks of Geese approaching, one around 50 yards away, the other 100. I realized they would be crossing paths, and decided it might make for a crowded composition, and something different. I shot a few frames, and on the third shot I noticed that there were four birds in a perfect vertical composition. High key abstract wildlife photography, that's a new one for me!

This photograph is quite good, and we think that it (or something like it) might be appropriate for inclusion in the upcoming edition of Gander Press Review (GPR). If you would like to submit this or any other artwork or photographs for non-exclusive use in GPR, please visit our website, a link to which can be found on our homepage.

Thanks,
The Editors of GPR

When I first saw this I had assumed that you must of edited several images together, I am very surprised to hear that it is one on its own.
Very good execution and great foresight to raise the iso for your desired result.
