Great detail in the first one , bobo. The second one looks a little underexposed.

[Tony M]

Very nice. I especially like #1; the background looks like a painting. There's no EXIF in the images, so can you tell me the camera info?

Thanks Steve.
Now that you mention it, #2 does look a bit off. Fixing it now.

Thanks Tony.
f5.6, ISO 1250, 300mm, handheld.
#1 - 1/800
#2 - 1/1600

In #1 the background was "mutilated" somewhat to make it blurrier.

[Bobobird]

2a redo.
I find this kind of correction very hard to do especially since the white part is so much brighter then the front.

Better or worse?

[jeeperman]

Better, Bobo. Nice catch of a juvinile Swan.

[Otavio]

Better indeed (#2). Bobo, those are really portraits! Well done!

Thanks Paul, Otavio, James. Appreciate your dropping in.
