Gary that is a cool capture. Nice low angle and soft blue tones. I might be tempted to remove the shiny white reflections , not sure.
Lots of fun to see this image. Cold, dynamic, action filled, all four feet off the ground, kicked up snow. Love it! One for some of the major contests for their consideration??
Very nice action photo Gary. Some control points in on the white feathers or a bit of a curves adjustment on in the bright white area might bring out some more feather detail. I bet it was exciting to watch and listen to this takeoff. Nice job!<o:p></o:p>

Hi Gary, well timed for the double take off, and both with similar poses. Good to see the flying snow, together with their shadows, and overall well exposed. I cant help thinking a little more space below wont harm this. :w3
This is a great shot with a bunch of good action. The picture looks a bit better in my eyes if there was alittle bite more room on the left side in the frame .. but I wish a was there to make this shot. This kind off swans we seen here never in holland.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Added a little more room, which I had except on the left. Through Color Efex Pro 4 used the detail extraction to bring out a little more detail in the whites and eliminated the more prominent snow reflections. What do you think?

Gary:
Pretty neat, like the timing, similar poses, overlap without loss of important parts, kicked up snow plume, shadows.
From a comp standpoint, all the flow is along the horizontal, and it would work well with a pano crop for me. Not tight, but could def. stand some off the top for my tastes.
This a good place for the Color Efex pro to tease out a bit more detail in the whites.
Cheers
Randy
Too dreary to go out today I am afraid.
Hey Randy, totally agree about today, we have the off white sky from horizon to horizon. This is a 7 x 4 crop, are you suggesting more of a pano crop?Quote:

Wow, absolutely beautiful and stunning! An extremely compelling photo, I particularly like the most recent repost - great detail in the wings and I love the pano crop!
What a great action capture, Gary! Great timing, love the drag racing poses, and kicked up snow is a great touch. Good suggestions, and I think the added pano in Randy's post strengthens the whole comp. Nice work!
Great image Gary! I like the flying snow, wing positions and setting. Randys repost makes the image even better.
Excellent action very well captured Gary. Randy's repost takes it to next level.
Superb image, Gary. Fantastic action, story and comp. Love the kicked up snow.
Excellent work.
Lovly image and Randy,s repost , Wow. Wery well done.
Thanks all for the kind comments and thanks Randy for the repost!
Gary.
