What's wrong with a drooling swan ? *L*
That's a killer shot.
How on earth did you get a 1/640 speed at ISO 200 with that lense !!!
I have the same lense on my 20D , and it's amazing but it doesnt seem to take in that much light ?
Again , an amazing shot.
Congrats. |

I don't like this. It looks like the swan is drooling. Not a flattering portrait of such a graceful animal.

| Amazing shot. Just curious how many shots in the sequence you took or was this a single take. You have my vote hands down. Not to say anything bad about the others they are all very impressive. Just something about this shot captivates me personally. |

| Lovely lighting though the red is a touch too red for me, even though it's likely realistic rendition of late evening light. A little more detail in face of parent swan would help too. 6 |

| Not sure about the water from Momma's mouth. Looks a little bizarre. The sun reflections on the water are a little too strong (hot). The rest of the photo is great. Love the colors, focus, and dof. Excellent work |

| This REALLY is one of my favorites!!! I fact. . . .I'm going to pick it as one of my favorites. I love ducks anyway, but your lighting, your tones, and then the dripping of the water off your perfectly focused ducks makes this an aMAZING shot!!! I would be delighted if this was in the winners circle on Monday morning!!! |
