Re: Whooper Swan
Nice the way you've captured the sun lighting up the swans wings!

Re: Whooper Swan
Good shot of great bird, but you have found the problem that is on almost every lake - too much going on in the background. I have never managed to solve it.
You could try cropping but it would take some heavy cloning to remove the others.
Still, lovely light through the wings.

Re: Whooper Swan
You are right. My computer decided "not to respond" when I was trying to post the photo first time round. So I uploaded it again without realising it was already up there. If this happens again I will check the website before uploading a second time.

If there is only the one, shall I tidy up to avoid (my) confusion? Originally Posted by Judith

Re: Whooper Swan
The scene is a bit crowded but I love the back lighting on the wings! Good capture.

Re: Whooper Swan
Nice bird! It looks somewhat "proud". The backlit wings are soooo great. Beautyful shoot. I would like to have taken this picture myself. Do You have more of similar pictures?

Re: Whooper Swan
Yes. I have lots from this particular location. A couple attached for you. Also, a photo of a black swan taken in Wales.
