Fantastic picture!!!

Great lighting and comps.!!!

Very nice photographic achievement.Beautiful "dance". Pnina

realy nice picture.

Detail, composition and lighing are wonderful. Would like to see this a lot larger, just for pure enjoyment. Nice job!

Strong shot.... 6/6

Stunning! I agree with Jayme, would love to see a larger version

I second the motion - HOW did you do this? It's gorgeous - never seen such a striking image of a swan.

Striking shot of dynamic motion.

Great shot! I have never seen a shot of a swan like that before. Great timing with the posture, like a few had said before its very dynamic. The composition is great, most swan shots seem to be of them in water in daylight etc. and I dno but I usually find them quite bland and boring, but this one is different. Great job

Superb capture and light!

my goodness, this is superb!

something about the lightig makes me feel like this was done in a studio, (As well as the fact that the wings are frozen so perfectly in the midst of obvious motion) Was this a real swan or a stuffed one in a studio? Either way the effect is beautiful and grace is certainly portrayed. Good job.

Really a fantastic work!

Great

. . . for your kind and motivating contributions;

these pictures are the result of a recently developed technique of mine, and I hope you don't mind me not sharing it yet as there's a lot to improve. all shots were taken in the blistering cold, none of them ( like asked ) is a studio work ( I would never ever take a picture of a stuffed animal, I even feel uneasy capturing animals in a zoo ). I hope you're not tired of swans yet because there are some other shots to come if you wish ( even some larger ones, as asked for).

so long, best regards and a wonderful upcoming new year to all of you; nj

Excellent at all, great shot regards!
