Taken on 7th Feb during the cold spell. -5 at Slimbridge with most of the lakes frozen and a very heavy fog lifting (at last by lunch I could see something, lovely afternoon eventually). Cropped 50% to pano.
1DS mk2 100-400 lens at 100 ISO250 1/640 at f11 handheld. Processed in Capture One and Photoshop. Lots of playing with levels and contrast and a small amount of saturation.

Nice atmospheric image, wish the swans were a bit larger in the frame.

Very nice.
The mist makes the swans stand out well.
And I like panoramic composition.

Hi John
Great light and atmosphere. Good crop. I would prefer the swans a bit larger in the frame. Nice image though.
Very,very nice indeed.I love frost covered landscapes so find this one especially appealing.
Brings back many memories of enjoyable (and cold ) days spent in the hides at Slimbridge.
