A swan drying its wings in England.16 total reviews
Comment from Way West
An amazing nature scene that you have captured so very well! This swan with his wings in action, is well focused with beautiful colors. I like the adjustments that you have made to it as it brings out greater detail. Well composed and framed with excellent lighting. Great shot, thank you for sharing!

Beautiful pose of the bird. Great detail in the feathers. The soft blue water in the background compliments the bird and makes him stand out. My only suggestion would be to sharpen the eye and add a catchlight. Great capture!

no he is trying to tell you that he saw a fish "this big". he must have thought you were fishing too..lol. the clarity is great. the angle of the shot of this swan with wings out is great. the capture of the light is great. the presentation is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall.

Hi Nik, this is quite different to your normal images. I love it! A beautiful stop action capture of this white Swan flapping its wings. Excellent clarity and lighting to see the detail of its wings and feathers. Nice clear eye and colour on the beak. Thanks for sharing!

What an interesting capture Nik. I don't think I have seen our black swans in such a pose as this. The colors are good with great handling of exposure and white balance.
Focus is sharp on the eye of the swan.

Comment from Charlotte Morse
This is a wonderful shot and well deserving of a six, but I've run out - already! Sorry.
Beautifully focused, with good dof giving nice sharp detail.
Excellent exposure and lovely deep, rich colours.

Nice view of the swan. The water is lovely with its ripples of pale color and the blues. The reflection of the swan is nice considering it is flapping. Thanks for sharing.
