Swan at dusk

A swan takes off along the Thames

Immagine molto bella e interessante. Ottimo tempismo nello scatto.

fantastic shot, ISO well pushed. Congratulations.

Excelent results from using iso3200. Just enough movement still showing in the swans wings and yet the rest is beautifully sharp. Also the dusk lighting displays the swan in all it's splendor. I think a well worth 7/7.

 

Looks like I have found another very happy home for the "Neat-Image" software. Glad to see you are enjoying the results achieved. Also pleased that we are now able to view your photo's using the Larger option. Many thanks for dropping by my Portflio.

One very nice swan.

 

Pete, Awesome! You have perfect timing for this shot.

Hi Pete,

 

have you seen the trilogy on "we never step/fly over etc the same water twice" by Manolis Spanakis?

Hello Maria, I thought it was a Chinese proverb.

 

Many thanks for looking and rating.

Una maravilla de fotografia Peter,,, perfecto blanco puro del ave,,,los bellos reflejos en el agua,, son una maravilla,,, esperare a darte un 7/7,,,, un cordial salud,, y graciaspor tus comentarios,

Peter, a delightful shot - I like the upward curve of the swans wingtip feathers. Was it landing or taking off? I would guess taking off as it seems to be making a bit more effort than for landing.

 

The dark water and reflections are very good too. Very successful!

Julio, Colin, thanks for looking.

 

Colin, this was sort of both take off and landing, he had just been shooed off by a dominant male and was moving 100 yards up the river. I managed to shoot of 6-8 shots, this was the most pleasing wing shape. P

Perfect pose... I'd prefer it cropped a little less (assuming the rest of the background wasn't distracting), but still really good.

Excellent photo you catch the moment !

Beautiful bird!

Splendid capture!

bravo!

Best Regards,

Caprice

Peter,

(I cant understand why you got 3's for it)

I hope to take some swan-photos too, but no swans

Thanks for your comment on my fighting ducks.

Perfect timing! Lovely capture of a magnificent bird! Kind regards, Iren

Excellent timing

greta moment captured here..love it...

The dynamics of flight combines with seamingly effortless, laid back motion of the swan. Peter, excellent!

 

Best wishes,

Nick

Hi Peter! I love visiting your portfolio, very inspiring for quality work. I don't know what picture to comment on as most of them are so good, so I'll comment on this one as it strikes as outstanding. Thank you for sharing your great talent!

Excellent photo! You've captured grat moment, but you already know ti :-) I like reflektion on surface of the water! One of the best swan photos here! Dejan

excellent!

Beautiful shot, the whole thing is just great, love the light and reflections.

Very nice, having just started it is nice to see that my subject matter is not considered to common, I have been taking pictures of swans to get my eye in as it were. Great shot.
