    Sachin, shooting angle is nice. The image is quite underexposed though. Other issues are that is swimming away from you and an extreme angle with head turned away. I hope you get more chances to shoot when it is parallel and a better head angle.

    Beautiful looking Swan, Sachin. Kaustubh covered everything, but there is some beautiful detail in the feathers, especially on the neck. Too bad it was under-exposed. Hope to see more shots of this one.

    Sachin, happy to see you posting!

    I photograph mute swans often, they always give you such a sly look

    I agree with all mentioned above, I can see beautiful details in his/her feathers but being underexposed and it looks like it has a blue cast to it. I played with it and hope you do not mind.

    I am not a PS expert but I tried my best to improve your colors and exposure for you. If you shot this in RAW it could be an easy fix for you.

    Thank you all...

    Noelle You did a great job with the PP.
    Now I clearly see what was the issue with original Image...For Some reason it looked Ok on my monitor.

    I always shoot in RAW so I will fix and re-post this one.

    Sachin, I would recommend calibrating your monitor, I am sure someone here can make suggestions or point you to a thread where it is discussed.

    I recently bought a new computer and it took me two weeks to get it just right.... what a pain! Makes all the difference in the world.
