This image was captured on a cold November afternoon at Lago di Misurina area, at the Dolomites.
I had my camera attached on the tripod and I was waiting for the sunset. Suddenly I looked at my left and saw a duck far away that was coming towards me. I quickly change my settings and choose a fast shutter speed. While the duck was approaching, I previsualize where I want it to be on my frame and made a little change to my camera angle. As it was entering my frame, I pressed the shutter. I had only one shot and I was very lucky that I managed to get the duck where I wanted! She was flying very fast and I thought to myself that maybe she was flying home for Christmas!
