Stasis Under Starlight

A pair of Greylag Geese (Anser anser) silhouetted against and reflected in the bright water of Tower Scrape, Strumpshaw Fen, Norfolk, England. With the trickery of perspective they appear beak to beak but their reflection gives away their true positions. Whether they stand in opposition or harmony depends on your viewpoint! Floating feathers mimick the stars and the reflected reed bleeds the shadows into the waters light.
