2nd in my Swan series, I decided to play with the tonal range on this shot to bring out more detail in the swans wings. All comments welcomed. I used my external flash with this shot and had to lie down to maximise the composition, my dog nearly cocked his leg on me, Im sure the swans were amused.

You sure got a clear one here Bri. Excellent shot. The DOF is outstanding. Sounds like your dog went off half cocked.

The clarity and coloring is amazing. Bet that had to be entertainment watching your dog!

Both versions are captivating. Although I am torn... I prefer the swans position in the first version, but I prefer the skies and details on the swans in the second. For my eye the grasses are too sharp in this one, I would like to see them softened some. Can't help but admire that dog, I would never get anything done bringing mine. Saved.

For such a wide-angled shot you must have been really close to the swan in front.
The use of flash to highlight the plumage really works well.

Wow! Impressed.

I saw this in the VB. The eye is drawn to the birds. The extra framing at the sides is nice. The sky and water are divided evenly that neither one takes over. Good job.

Hello Bri! I just saw this beautiful work when I opened up Caedes. Your were featured a main gallery artist at the top of the page. Congratulations on this wonderful work. I hope to cross paths with you some more as I look through the galleries. I don't know why I haven't crossed paths before. Very good work.
