Location
This photo was taken on the outskirts of York, its a place i go every year to catch the new born goslings. I caught this lonely gosling heading back to mum and had to get down in the mud to get the shot.Time
This was taken at noon on a particularly cold and snowy day which is unusual at the end of April. I'm sure the gosling wondered what was going on!Lighting
I made sure to get a bright background by aligning the gosling with a green bushEquipment
