Flying swans

Like the 3 different positions of the wings...

Ah! Marie-Josee again. Everywhere I go on the site you have been.

Great image - keep it up.

good evening!
which one do you prefer? it's a kind of competition with myself.. I had to print a seagull photo!
C&C welcome!

thanks!

The second one.

I like the water droplets on the first one and the fact that the whole of the bird's head is in view. However, in the second one the whole bird very sharp (the tips of the wings are blurred in the first one). We can see every feather. Also, the patterns on the water contribute to the overall impact.

Hi Donald!
interpreting your words... this one below should be the one you prefer among them, I think...



just a little cut perhaps...

The features (focus, bird's head) are all present in this one, but it is not so good as an action shot. The bird looks much better, I think, in teh second picture above. It is still, for me, the best shot.

ok! sold out! (the 2nd)
thanks Donald , i'm a faithful of your doctrine!

Got this guy in my back yard around Christmas. That is a frozen lake behind him, in a snowstorm, so all of the white is natural. The only PP I did was levels and curves.

This is one of my favorite pictures that I have taken of a little woodpecker that has built his home in one of our trees. When I took this picture he was busy playing hide and seek with me. The AF was 5.6 and the shutter speed was 1/500s.

Steve,

These are all great shots. Well done.

I really like #2 Brian.

Here are a couple of my leopards. I was lucky enough to see a male at dusk (and I had my decent flash with me) then a mother and two cubs.



Good work Peter. Would love to go to Africa.

This is completely outside my comfort zone, but I've had the Sigma 170-500mm F5.6-6.3 for some time so I thought I ought to use it. Shot on holiday in the Camargue region of France. Comments welcome.

Hi Cheri,

Given the game of chase you had with it, I guess I can understand why you chose this crop.

You have a decent sized image there and viewed large, the foreground (very blurred) leafery (hey I made a new word) on the right is a bit off putting. I would be tempted to crop into a protrait format and tone down the foreground highlight would be more prominent then.

I have yet to capture a woodpecker, so well done for persevering

Cheers,
