The white of the swans is challenging, especially when trying to bring out the environment.

Yes it certainly is, but it looks like you did well with exposing them. I wish they were more separated, but barring a remote control implant ;) what are we to do :D

[Arthur Morris]

Sharp. You got eveything in the frame. And the exposure is great. Too many merges and not the greatest placement of the birds relative to the BKGR. As is, a crop of about 1/3 of the water off the bottom would be a big improvemnet.
later and love, artie

Terry you did well to get the six in one frame. I would like to see a bit more wing separation but then I don't even have one shot of swans in flight.

[Terry Olmsted]

Thanks all for the comments and suggestions. I too wish there had been more separation - those darn swans just don't seem to listen to commands :). Artie, I like your crop suggestion - I think it does improve the image.
