Thanks for every advice about this shoot and expecially critique:
I am not sure about :
- if the shoot is ok and could be interesting
- if there is too much rumor
- if the little blue dominance is bad and how coud be possible delete

Love the light and action.

Giovanni:

The two swans on the left are great, love their poses.
The blue cast works OK for me, adds to the winter feel.

If the image quality will allow, I could see a vertical of the two left birds.
Pleasant background.

Although the light angle was well of to your left, the head angle and angle of the birds in the frame makes it effective.

Lots of possibilities with this one.

Well captured.

I am in total agreement with Randy - you have a great image here with fantastic light and great action, but a crop would result in an even better, more focused image.

[Giovanni Frescura]

Ok thanks Randy...but a question : Do you think that the goose and swan in the right side could give more deep to the shoot also because are watching the other?

[Randy Stout]

Giovanni:

I do think the two left swans add something, because of their looking at the displaying pair of swans. The goose, not so much.
I think you have to weigh what you gain with the extra birds in story telling, versus the potential greater impact of the two displaying swans larger in frame. I don't think there is one correct answer, I would try both ways and see what speaks to you!

Cheers

Beautiful light! Like the action and the color of the reeds behind them.
