Spreading wings

Wel apart dit zwart/wit. Hoe heb je het voor elkaar gekregen de vogel zo te fotograferen?

Misschien vanaf een berg?

(Bedankt voor je positieve com. op mijn zwaan,

hij ging heeeel snel, heb veel foto's gemaakt

maar dat was een van de beste. Groeten Ellen.)

Try the Colour Version ... Critiques are welcome.

Nice shot would benefit from brightening up of tips of wings and a bit more detail in shadows.

Beautiful capture, Lucas. The snow on the top left is both distracting and storytelling, the composition both mundane and rule-breaking, but the artistic spirit is not lost on me. I love the black and white version, the color version

is also nice in its monochromacity, but it shows some color noise artifacts, of which this version is void.

Thanks Ellen, Robert and Mathias! Mathias, thank you for the detailed description. One small correction is that the top left is not snow but water on the beach. Thanks again!

Lucas, I hope you don't mind my giving you another version, cloned the water and lighten the wings. Cheers, Sondra
