White

[Anbesol]

This was one of my most surprisingly favorite photo projects of 2009. The challenge of photographing a bright white subject made it a lot of fun, and I am pleased with how the white exposed here. The first time I shot it, harsh sun light sort of killed the potential, so I went back when the clouds diffused the light.

I wanted to post a few of my favorites from the shoot, I have one specifically that I think was the best shot of the day, but I'd like to see what you guys would pick too. Would also like to hear some ways you think it could be improved..

The first is just an example of the harsh light on my first try.

Thanks! To clarify, by the second do you mean the full bodied one or the closeup? I've editted and numbered them now.

I like the second shot and the 3rd, the third maily for the water dropping from the beak .. Beautifully done!

Sorry I know its sort of a dumb question, I just included the first as an example, not part of the series. lol I confused myself! Ah.

Thanks guys. This swan posed for me so much, she was a model in another life, I even left after a while and she was still doing all the posing for me. (Or is it a he? I'm so dumb with birds, is there a way to tell?)
