    Can't believe no comments yet Will?????

    The change of BKG for me has really elevated the whole image, very nice indeed and the wing position is also, far better. If this is 16x9 then perhaps 16x10 with a sliver more below???? Was this in the morning or afternoon, if late afternoon personally I might just boost a bit more saturation or tweak the WB.

    Very nice work Will, keep it up.

    I like this one too, I don't know which I prefer, possibly this one pops better but I did like the trees in the previous. Image is good and sharp good to see water droplets on the belly. Maybe consider lowering the brightness of the leading edge of the left wing just a bit?

    I like this one over the other. The BG compliments the Cygnet nicely. Well done William.

    Hi Will, great that you captured him against the trees in the BG, and I do like the extended neck in the flight pose. Without going back to your previous image of this fellow, I actually prefer the trees in your previous post - but each image on its own - well captured on both.
