Hi Edwin,

Stunning work as usual. Love the dreamy feel to the image. Well executed with great composition and a nice sense of movement in the wings. I'm intrigued to know if the Sigma 120-300/2.8 is the only lens you use for Wildlife :confused: If so you are getting some stunning results using it. :wink:

Regards

Rob

Yes, this is my only lens besides the Sigma 150 macro and the Nikon 50/1.8

Edwin...

Outstanding..... I just wonder if it would be better with a touch more room on the right....

The pastel shades are wonderful.......

wonderful image, I agree with philh, it needs a tad more to the right.

Stunning. I love the colour scheme and the contrast between the very active and very passive poses.

Fantastic image, but I have to agree with Dave in that it would be even better without the Swan on the right!
