Swans on the Inlet

[Young Shooter]

i dont know so much about this one, i think the birds blend in to much with the background

The colors really don't bother me too much, as it's more about what's in the foreground than the background... but something about the middle swan's posture is bothersome to me. Sort of jolting to the eye, for lack of a better description. Of course, that's subjective... we're all used to having swan photos being calm and subdued (as already noted), but in general there's too much tension here or something to that effect. Can't put my finger on it exactly.

Thanks for the comments . . .
I had posted a Swan pic a few weeks ago with a typical Swan pose...but this one just struck me as different and I like how this swans pose in the middle is Just love the shape of the wings and body and curvy neck. Interesting to hear a few different points of view on it. Thats what I like so much about this forum Thanks all for your time

Gary,

A bit closer might have been more pleasing. And I agree that the light is a bit dull. Probably evening or morning would have provided more appealing / dramatic coloring... But, i do like the middle swan... cool pose.

Cheers, Stew

I love this. The colors may be a bit dull, but I think that dull silver of the water adds to the picture. There's something mystic feeling about it to me.
