Hi Randy. Great action here! It does work for me in terms of the poses, sharpness and water splashes. I also like the symmetry between the three Swans. I can't decide if I like the rear oof Swan or not. Had you been a little more to your right maybe you wouldn't have clipped the wing of the Swan on the right? Cheers.
I love the action here indeed! I think my favorite part may just be that background individual coming in to join. Knowing how big these guys are the splashing and noise must have been impressive. The one "bad" head angle is unavoidable in this situation, and it is naturally looking at it adversary, but just wish the lower mandible did not merge with the wing edge (but I am being rather picky). All those whites look great!
Thanks guys for your input. I did wonder about the swan in the background, and maybe cropping into more of a vertical format, since I didn't have anything more on the right available, but decided that the story telling component of the approaching swan in the background was more important. I absolutely would have preferred more room on the right, but I didn't' pan fast enough.
