Swan Lake

[ChowChi-Ching]

I have alot of pictures of this beautiful swan but I really liked this close up of her. She let me get about a foot away from her, I was actually very afraid I was going to get bit.......they are pretty but they can be MEAN! I am trying different compositions and trying to vary what I always do........so, what do you think?

Ahaha, funny story...I've been bit by one of those devils! But I survived! I like this picture, though a little too tightly cropped for my liking. It seems like if you were to just pan down to fill that empty space on top you would have had a great shot. Colors are superb, much better than your other duck ones IMO. Great DOF, and a nice, strong, focus.

Well done,

Jared

Chow-
This is a very pretty image. I am really enjoying the golden tones of your background and I think you've caught her just right. She's even coquettishly looking back at you! You must be carrying bread in your camera bag. Nice catch.

I actually have alot of these swans, I will see if there are anymore that show more of her body.

LOL, CLKunst,
She was not looking at me for a treat. She was starting to get annoyed with me being so close. Her and the other lady(in the bg) were grooming themselves and I had just started to get on her nerves, after this shot, I backed away VERY slowly! LOL
