Nce shot, like the colours and size in frame

Some very interesting colours in this one Oscar.

I am sure you will enjoy the 200-400mm. It seems to be every Nikon users favourite lens.

Cheers

Austin

Every Canons users favourite lens too ;) I would love Canon to develop one. :(

Lovely colours, great idea.

Thanks

Austin, apparently, there is a 100-400 Mk2 coming out next year, so it could be f4.5 throughout, or f4...

Hi Oscar,

really nice shot the colours are great

I would however "crop" ( rude word) the image to remove the white line across the top.

You will enjoy the 200-400 its a great lens

Lovely composition and lighting but I would agree with Ian about the crop

The crop would be good, and I would let the swan have a little more space on the LHS if the opportunity arose again.
