The other remarkable thing was that the image I believed was better was the one that didn't get the ribbon. Both were well received during the viewing at the end of the meeting though so I guess I can't complain. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4uWvuNOLMhv54zQ_yOr3Sg8vX9RLg9hno5nz8hsFD5RizAMcUuR6_8osUuGyKQVOwIVJODYIEbh3Iclxi8WZddWwQ8qjJ2zxCmF9iQ2mYcHOuB0G50MXbRMri60ymDnItRda8B-1YwWk/s320/DSC_6587.jpg)

The gosling I took in early May and I believe he was only three days old at the time. His mom put her head in the water for a drink or a bite so this little guy thought he would try it. He ended up going end over end in a continuous somersault. Eventually he dove under and swam back up to the surface obviously disoriented. In the shot just before this one, a water droplet under his eye looked like a tear-drop and was soooo cute! Unfortunately my depth of field was a little shallow and his beak wasn't as sharp as I would have liked.
The colt I found during an impromptu trip to Spruce Meadows in June. One of the staff told me that the pastures across the road from the complex had a lot of babies to photograph. They were really quite inquisitive which was cool but also problematic. They always came right up the fence so I had to shoot around posts and wire etc. Still it was a fun afternoon of shooting.
