Lone Whooper taken on New Years day (before all the snow) caught him banking and some nice light picked him out well.

Hi Colin,
I love the lighting on the swan, but feel that for me this shot does not quite work. Ideally I would like to see the bird a little closer to that little bit of land (?) bottom right. You don't want to lose much above the bird, but I wonder if you could chop off a horizontal band between bird and horizon and turn it into a more panoramic shot. Fortunately you have a background where this should be relatively easy.

I agree with David that it would look better as a pano
Its still a very nice shot though
