Tundra on ice

[Grace Scalzo]

This is from the end of January on a frigid morning on Long Island. Since the bird was tucked in and trying to stay warm, I had the chance to try some different compositions. Thanks for looking and for your comments.

Hi Grace: Boy, I would love to have the opp to photograph something like this. You have great light and BG. Love the HA on the bird and nice catchlight. I only wish for a slightly tigher crop.

Hi Grace, this lovely indeed. Nice to have subjects let you take your time! Are those ice formations on the swan?? I'd crop away about half the empty space at bottom.

Stunning image Grace with a wonderful low angle and awesome lighting. Love the pose and excellent exposure. Well done !!
