Re: Trumpeter Swans liftoff
That is indeed a superb image. Everything about it is right.
By the way, I don't think I got the chance to welcome you to CiC. Hope you're enjoying it.

Re: Trumpeter Swans liftoff
A lovely, subdued lighting image, lifted into something light-hearted by the "hop, skip and jump" of the swans.

Perfect shot! How did you talk them into having their wings perfect like that?

That's the beauty of being able to fire off some fast bursts. Several in this series were unusable because heads were obscured etc. Originally Posted by rpcrowe

Re: Trumpeter Swans liftoff
Thanks for the positive feedback everyone! I appreciate it.
I am off to dig up some more images to share. Hope I don't bore you all.
There sure is some great landscape work here. I can spend all evening perusing the images.
