Hi Phillip


Love the colour of the sky, really makes the swans pop!

That is some sky Phillip and as Craig said it makes those whoppers really stand out :toast: :toast:

Cracking image Phillip! It looks like a water colour to me. Fantastic shot!

The colour of the sky is great! I like the arrangement too, and how the three swans together have the same wing shape, whereas the slightly isolated swan has a different wing position - largely luck, I know, but a great result!

I think this would look very powerful with an even more 'letterbox' crop.

Very nice, I think I too would go for even more of a pan crop by taking some off the top...

Great colour...

Lovely work, I really like this simple and effective shot.

Beautiful colours in the sky, I agree with the letterbox suggestion.

Sometimes I wonder why this birds have wings, if they don't use them often.

Your photo is very attractive. Simplicity on i's own.

Cheers,
Marko
