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

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.
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.

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.

BTW Do you get any migratory swans there?
