fighting geese – study for an altarpiece

NIKON D7200 (500mm, f/11, 1/2500 sec, ISO 1250)
Fighting Egyptian geese [Alopochen aegyptiaca] at a pond near Castricum, NL.

Somehow, the (accidental) composition, the colors and the tactile values remind me of a late medieval altarpiece, or a battle scene in a Renaissance painting.
