Three little stooges Dad

[Oscar Zangroniz]

This Swan is the dad of the little one's i posted a couple of days ago. Seems like he's the one in charge of protecting the young ones and at times he became quite vicious when we got close.

Nikon D3, 70-200 2.8 w/2x tc @400mm, F5.6, 1/800, ISO 400, Aperture Priority, Exposure comp -2/3

Excellent up close portrait...I like this very much...you captured the true essence on Mom Oscar...wel done...you have sharp details, crystal clear eye and the tucked head pose...:cool:

Oscar, I like the interesting crop and the details look good!

Hi Oscar I like the selected crop very much Eye placement is just perfect Would suggest stopping down more for added dof Not sure about the color of the bird Haven seen him but seems to be more white? Need to check them out !!!

Hi Oz - like the crop and the eye contact - little more DOF for my tastes - the OOF areas up front detract from the image - IMHO!
