BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   Mother's Eyes
Mother's Eyes
One of my favorites from 2008, which I reprocessed again from Raw file, as I really started to hate how it looked after a year!! The story behind this photo is, the Mother Goose had lost all of her other babies, likely to predators like snapping turtles. This was her only gosling left... Sometimes even life on the marsh can be filled with as much danger above the water, as it can from below...

  How sad nature can be at times. However, you captured an emotion here between mother and child, very well done indeed.
