Would You Please Remove That Feather...

[Joseph Przybyla]

This is an image that I have posted previously that has been processed again from the beginning with new tools in the software and acquired skills. The bird is a Australian Black Swan (C). Lake Morton in Lakeland, Florida has four species of swans swimming in it's waters. The swan is the symbol of Lakeland. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Repost looks far better Joe, just keep an eye on that SS IMHO, you have plenty of ISO at your disposal.

You managed a beautiful shot of a bird I frequently see around my home waters, alas usually in harsh light! The eye contact is very engaging, sharpness and details in the black feathers are superb. Well done.
