Hi Alan

Really nice flight shot, maybe a tad more room for the Swan to fly into would be good. I love the detail you have captured and I quite like your grey sky - after all it's not too often we see a blue one!

Thanks for the comment David.

I've gone back to the shot and added alittle more canvas to the left and atouch of bottom(to balance the comp out).

Hows this ?

Much prefer your second post, great detail and subtle colours.

Hi Alan,

Your posting some cracking flight shots recently, this is another beauty. I like the repost with a bit more room.

Well Done

Yes another cracking flight image.

The grey sky seems in-keeping with the muted colours of the swan.

Very nicely caught.

excellent shot of the swan--very nice lines you have and excellent framing

Lots of nice detail here and the extra space works well.

Hi Alan

Yes I think this works a little better - hope you agree!

I like the 2nd comp better (rule of thirds always works).

Lovely exposure, beautiful crisp detail, nothing more to said.

Great image Alan
