Sergeant Swan & the Troops - - Last one of the Trumpeter Swans/Cygnets on the tide flats. When I was looking at the photos on the computer this one got my attention because it looked just like a Sergeant with his troops all lined up for inspection. The body of the Sergeant is just outside of the focal range but his head is in focus so I thought I'd show it just for fun.

Sony a6500, FE 70-200 f2.8 GM w/2X TC @ 396 mm, ISO-100, f/8.0, 1/400, hand held.

I like it Gary, any more at the foot. Conditions appear not to have been on your side.

Hi Gary
I like the comp on this. I appreciate the subjects were like this but feel that the one on the left could do with a little "lift"
Just my take.The whole shot seems a tiny bit dark. Could be my gear not been serviced for a year or two ! Different sort of shot whatever.
Cheers
John
