Kaustubh, Beautiful! I love Mute Swans and this technique really does work well with them since they are such a great subject for silhouettes. Nicely done and I hope you post more of these.
Hi Kaustubh, I like this a lot! Beautiful silhouette and love the bokeh BG. :)
Hello KD, nice to see you posting here! This is a beautiful image and I agree with Christopher, the bokeh is lovely. Very nice Kaustubh.

Thx everybody. This was a little more tricky than I thought it would be. As the breeze increased, ripples increased creating lot of circles. But when the breeze died down, the circles reduced. And I had to maintain straight line with myself, Swan and the highlights. So to time the breeze with the head angle was the key. For some shots I stopped down...that created octagons instead of circles. A little different. Here's one at f/8. Do you think circles look better or octagons? I prefer the circles.
Kaustubh, I prefer the circles but it is interesting to see the different results. I usually do these at f/22 and get star bursts but you have inspired me to experiment w/ f-stops. Thanks!!:)
