    I took this image on the weekend at a local lagoon. I wish the far wing was in a better position. Hope you like it.

    Beautiful exposure! The texture on the neck ad breast is perfect. Head angle is spot on as well. The shoreline is a bit distracting,
    but that's life, right. A really fine image though, Jim!

    Great HA on this swan and the whites look great.
    I agree with Alex that the shoreline is not ideal but still a very nice image,

    Hi Jim,
    Lovely exposure and I like all the definition on the swan. Also, that slight head turn really is engaging, well done.

    As above on the shoreline. I am fine with the one raised wing position as all the techs are perfect.

    Thanks everyone for your kind comments. I too agree with the shoreline not being ideal.
