I was at my usual perch at the harbour on Sunday morning photographing Eiders when three juve mute swans swam in from the sea, swam towards me, stopped and posed, and gave me a good oppurtunity to take photos. :)
I know what you mean Keith. I thought about it, then left it as I liked the way that it 'glowed' on the swans head. Different tastes :). Thanks for the comments, and you aswell Jonathan, much appreciated.
At first glance, this looked odd to me, almost like two snakes. But the more I look at it, the more I like it, has an intimate, confiding feel to it. I would remove, or at a minimum tone down the highlight. You did great with this exposure.
