Somebody shot an arrow at this magnificent young bird, she was dying and quite at ease with my presence... I was standing on the dock and couldn't reach her so I took some photos of her showing how we treat our fellow beings...

Location
I took this photo in the harbour of Estoril, Portugal.Time
It was about 12 o clock, it was a beautiful sunny day.Lighting
The lighting was just as it was, nice and natural.Equipment
I allways carry my wonderful Lumix DMC-TZ60 pocketcamera with me, and shot this photo free out of hand without any extra equipment.Inspiration
With her wings covering the city, she balances wounded above the harbour... Somebody shot an arrow at this magnificent young bird, she was dying and quite at ease with my presence... I was standing on the dock and couldn't reach her so I took some photos of her showing how we treat our fellow beings...Editing
I don't do much editing although I allways crop the photo's I shoot.In my camera bag
I don't have a bag of equipment at all, only my little pocketcamera wich practically fits in my backpocket. It shows that you do not have to use expensive and big cameras to achieve nice results...Feedback
There is not so much to say about taking a photo like this, just look around you and be prepared to shoot at all times as a nice opportunity occurs. Allways wait and keep shooting for that one pose... as in this photo. I kept shooting until she outfolded her wings, just before she died...
