i like the shooting angle, pose and comp. both feet in air with that wing position is very nice. Iq isnt very good though. is it a big crop? your techs looks pretty good.
Roger Williams thanked for this post
Great moment and action but the image seems a little flat to me. I also wish for a tad higher angle so not to see the horiz. line.
Thanks for the comments. While this is a fairly large crop, I think the iq is also due in part to the presence of fog caused by the mix of sub-zero air and warm water.
Love the pose and the subject. I brought this into Nik Color Efex and added some Tonal contrast to help with the fog. Selectively applied it and some levels to even out the light on the wings. Nice shot- these swans are gorgeous!![]()
Thanks, Denice. I like the effect of your touches!
Anytime Roger!![]()
