CommentThis is my very best photo of 2023. So much so that I have had it printed onto canvas. These stilts were resting in a group on my local lake. I was walking slowly towards them hoping for a better photo. The camera was on and ready. It was a grey day. They took off and here is the result. I like the action and the visible water droplets.
