This shot came out a little soft but I liked the dreamy look. It is cropped and the dream-like appearance is enhanced by adding a little softness to it. Please tell me what you think of the result.

All comments are most wellcome. I thank you in advance for taking the time. Always greatly appreciated!

It may be a little soft, but it's still a good capture Susanne. They sure are beautiful birds.

Catching a bird in action is always difficult & I say you did a superb job even if the focus is a bit soft. I do happen to like how you enhanced the softness to give the swan a dreamy look. Very well done Susanne.

I like the soft look to it. It kinda makes it look like it is moving at the speed of light...or maybe a little slower. LOL. Very nice, Susanne.

It does have a dreamlike effect Susanne. Maybe just a little bright but beautiful nonetheless.

Good post.

Being partial to dreamy images, I really like the softness and the blur on the wings... Sweet shot!

It isn't easy to get a flying swan captured.. about the dreamy look.. yes it has for sure. It isn't always possible to get the highest quality in photo's like this but I am happy you posted this great photo. Love that combination of white and soft blue! Mich

I have to comment on this terrific image Susanne. You were at the right place in the right time here! The blur on the wings gives a fantastic impression of speed and the orton-like treatment has compensated for the softness very well. Congratulations!
