For some reason (likely junk equipment) I have always wanted to capture that moment, when the goose skids across the surface of the water during landing. I have managed over the years to get nearly every missed shot ever... out of frame, blurry, bad background, etc.

This is the closest I have come, I think it is mission accomplished.
I like the overall composition of the first shot, but the second one is closer to that skidding across the water look.
