A long V formation of wild geese flying over harvested rice paddies at sunset, seen from the side and slightly below, each bird small, about one fortieth of frame width. First 2 seconds: the V glides steadily from left to right, wingbeats rolling in a wave down each arm. Next 2 seconds: the lead bird drops back along one arm and the next bird moves forward to take the point, the whole V reshaping smoothly. Final second: the formation settles into a clean V again and flies on. No individual goose is followed. The shape of the whole is the subject. Golden orange sky, distant layered blue mountain ridges, static locked-off camera
