I like this a lot :toast: If I was to be really picky it looks like the front and back swans are slightly less sharp than the middle two so a bit more depth of field might have helped but a cracking shot all the same :biggrin:

"Is that Bill Oddie in the background" - s*d Bill Oddie and give me Kate Humble anytime, Dave :smile: :smile:

Good shot of one of my favourite subjects Phil, excellant timing :smile:
