In the bathroom...

I'm just new on this site and I'm trying to find out how everything

is working, not so evident as English is only my third language.

Would like to know what this Critique Request means and what

should be written in the subject line. Could someone help me. I

posted one picture, but don't know where and if it will show up.

With kind regards, Dirk

I love the blur of the wings and the still face. Beautiful shot! And welcome to photo.net :-)

absolutely incredible. I'm surprised you took such a surreal shot w/o any photoshopping. congrats.

What a beautiful image. Nice job, and welcome.

Very beautiful!!!

Beautifully captures the angelic grace of the swan. Did you have to mute much of the background or is it un-doctored?

Wonderful....ethereal!

Fantastic!

Great image!Anna

Congratulations to this excellent image!

I like swans too ~ wish I'd taken one like this though! Excellent stuff!

Extraordinary and Beautiful. The tones and subject is fitting for myth - I'm thinking "Lydia and the Swan." The only thing I don't get is why you named this sensuous image "In the bathroom"?

Excellent.

This is something different from other pictures of swan I have seen. It is a beautiful image.

Exceptional shot. In Boom?

Dirk,

To answer your query: When you post a critique request like this one, the comment space is intended to be used in exactly the way that you did, to ask other photographers questions. Sometimes it's also helpful to include a little background about the image, which you already did in the Technical Details box.

 

I'd say your five days of shooting swans was a major success! The thing which is so exceptional about this image is the blurred movement and dark background, a result of shooting after sunset.

 

I've noted with swans and geese, that they seem most likely to take off or land either around dawn or dusk. In any event, you've captured a truly amazing image here. Congratulations and welcome to Photo.Net.

In addition to the the blur and dark background, the position of the swan in the frame is perfect. Very well done indeed.

Your timing is right on the money. Very ,very nice.

a fantastic shot Dirk. I think this shot could be improved further by either tighter crop or by including a bit more space below.

If English is your third language, then photography must be a fourth, but not in that order. You do fine with the English, you do excellent with the photography. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

The very Best i have seen!

I wonder how the other pictures look like.

but the most terrific fact is that it was taken with a digital camera!

congratulations!

What a work of art here...this is one great capture...Perfect use of the shutter here...the motion here adds to the great flow of this image...Just great all round picture!!!

Ik ben ook nog maar pas actief op Photonet en net als jij beheers ik de Engelse taal niet helemaal. Wat je fotos betreft: Nice work!

thank you very good shot

Really nice shot, good movement/dynamics.

Regarding the English language: you're doing more than OK Dirk. Flemish people are usually too humble about their language skills.
