The Weekend in Black and White: Serene and Boisterous

I couldn't decide between two shots this week.

I like the serenity of the first shot and how boisterous the second shot is.

    I saw geese like these this afternoon. I raised my camera - and a little boy ran towards the water throwing stones to make them splash. Goodbye geese.

    They're both wonderful and those are the perfect adjectives. I guess I'd have to vote for the second as my favorite only because I know that it is so hard to get such a good action shot, especially of so many birds-- the one flying up with his wings beating is so perfect there in the middle..

    Both are equally good, serenity in the first one and great capture in the second.
