Swan Profile

[pendennis]

I'm building up my interest in nature photography. A few days ago, I visited the Crosswinds Marsh park, in southern Wayne County, Michigan. Task was to shake out my D750, 200-500mm Nikkor zoom, Manfrotto Gimbal head, and some other equipment. I was also seeking out some nesting bald eagles, the park advertises. I found a nest, but alas no eagles. Instead, I decided to study four swans. The one pictured was imaged against the blue water of the marsh. I edited in Photoshop Elements, bringing up the background a bit to improve contrast. I added a Kenko 1.4x teleconverter, giving me a focal length of 700mm.



Best,
Dennis

Hi Dennis,

Very warm welcome

Very nice head shot

Looks like the set up is working Dennis,

My only suggestion is that if mine, I'd crop about 15% (of image width) off the right hand side.

Nice sharp shot though.
