Big time air...very cool photo with the background blur really isolating the rider. I feel like I'm right there watching this live!

Just looking at your Profile: while this is not a black and white...it's general tone is the very Zen palette - all four of your top 4 images have the appearance of B+W. Nice!!!

Just a fantastic photo which I knew in my inmost pap to be yours. Congratulations.

My apologies - I saw the image small, thought how clever of you to have put a sort of olympic laurel wreath on the swan, opened up to see the join, and voila - it's real feathers!

I am so impressed - I have photographed lots of swans on my local park lake, but never got such a lovely view - and the shading an shadowing show off the feathers and space round them just so perfectly.

Absolutely first quality - you must immediately think of selling it widely - very, very good. Congrats on your picture
