    Default Black swan honking !

    Made the image of Black Swan in Bochum (Germany).

    This one was making a honking sound which was so loud that I actually thought there was some small ship/steamer boat was approaching...!!!
    The swan bends down, stretching/straightening its neck to make that kind of a sound.



    Nikon D70s + Sigma 50-500 DG HSM
    f6.3, ISO200, Manfrotto support.

    Views are welcome...

    rgds,

    Wonderful pose and water drops. Great job of capturing the peak of the action. Looks a tad dark from here. Overall well done.

    Very pleasant image, a happy feeling from it.
    It could go a little brgihter as Maestro mentions and I love the upward going splash, that, for me, makes the image :) Congratulations!

    I like the pose and composition, Kaushik. Action with water drops is great. These can make quite a noise! Agree that it looks a bit dark - they are difficult with the black and white feathers. Interestingly the natives in Australia and NZ have a white bar near the tip of the beak which this one doesn't seem to have.

    this is a fantastic scene!!!!
    However, it's just a little bit too dark and I would wish for more room on the right side (can't believe I said that :D)
