More Whooper Swans

[Michael Yessik]

This was taken in Hokkaido, Japan, one year ago. White birds against white background is a little tough, but the display is interesting.

D300, 300mm, f/5.6, 1/2500s,ISO 400.

It appears that they are having an intense conversation!

I think you've handled the white on white very well.

The contrast could be improved but you would have to get into a bit of heavy post processing to separate the BG for the FG.

Leave it alone.

[Tom Redd]

I agree with Lee, you handled this well.

What a nice moment to capture. The whites look pretty good, although they seem a bit pink-ish to me. But very nicely done.

[Dave Leroy]

Very nice interaction between the two birds. I really like the timing to capture this pose.

Blur the bg?? I think considering all the whites it would be pretty tricky to do.

OK, I did a quick try at blurring the background. The swans certainly stand out more. Better?
