Misty morning Swan
Although the weather is very spring like Lake Geneva has a mist on it in the mornings that doesnt burn off until lunchtime so i thought i would try for a high key type image,The swan is abit tighter in the frame than i wanted as i cocked up the horizon and had to trim some of the image straightening it
Canon 1d2+500+x2 ISO800 1/800@F8

Beautiful, I like the reflection and the absence of horizon.

This has a nice, peaceful, almost Arthurian quality to it Dave. Wonderful feather detail. I agree it's a bit tight but easy to expand the canvas and sort that. Looks like you got nice and low down too. :smile:

BTW Do you get any migratory swans there?

Hi Dave,
Another very attractive and serene swan image.I can't decide if I'd prefer this in landscape format,or not.Either way still a really fine shot. :toast:

Hi Dave

Very nice capture, excellent detail in the feathers. I'm with Justin on this one, I think I would prefer a landscape or a little more room in front, minor nits. I really like that you cant see where the water ends and the mist starts. :toast:

Well framed & nicely controlled on the whites :toast:
