Swan takeoff

[Grace Scalzo]

From a quick trip this evening.

1/320, f5.6, ISO400
1Dmk2n, 500 + 1.4tc + tripod

Wow, great focal point in that head, Love the golden last light and the blurred wings. V shaped wings not bad either :)

[Maxis Gamez]

This is great. Love the low angle and the action. Very sharp too!

[Daniel Cadieux]

Wow, what I love most about this are the two splashes created by the wings...very cool! You could crop about half the bottom and half the right...the strong water trail coming diagonally down from ULC would justify placing the bird closer to right edge and also help emphasize to powerful oncoming action. Just a thought. Highly enjoyable photograph as is anyhow :-)

[DustinFinn]

Really like this version.... I want to say it needs a CCW rotation, but just ever so slightly.

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Love the straight on take-off you captured Grace and as Fab already mentioned great focal pont on the head, Well done and big congratulations. Love it.

[Graham Smith.]

wow, great capture. I really love those wing splashes too. nice work!

[LouBuonomo]

Sweet.. I would take a bit off the bottom too.
