Whoopers in black
On our way back Mark spotted some whoopers on a lake. We decided to go for it and walked to the lake unseen. The water was quite black and thought underexposing might work here. Just enough time to get some shots. A few seconds later people in canoes scared them off and went airborne.

Hi Ed, I will reserve judgement on this one. :toast:

I don't dislike this Ed, but I feel the top is lacking a little something. Perhaps cropping a little closer might give more focus to the swans. Always good to be free and out of the box.

Hi Edwin

Agree that this needs to be seen big to fully appreciate it. Love the idea.

Cheers,
Chris
