Mute Swans

[Gautam Biswas]

These mute swans were feeding near the shore of lake Geneva. Their curved necks formed a pattern which I tried to make into an image pattern.

Love the synch effect created by all drinking at the same time. Interesting choice of selective focus, only wish the last swan weren't there.

See, the swans also run like clockwork in Switzerland!:D

(Nice one!)

I really like your idea for this image. I agree with Fabs that it was bad luck that the swan in the upper right corner was there. The whites are over on the backs of the swans.

I like how well you got all the faces turning Excellent timing Can only wish for soft light Would have helped for the whites on the back Also agree on the last swan !!!

The repetitive row of drinking swans has lots of impact Gautam, and with the 500mm lens selective focusing on the central swans was a good choice. Yes I also agree about the intruding swan top right corner.

I like the idea and composition. They seem to have an eye on the guy with the camera. :)
