 Hope it's not too far from the theme. Not much to say about this shot. Was high key by nature. BW was an experimet I liked. Told my fellow DPL team members I'm done with submitting bird pictures but now it's the only images I have. :-/

nice setup. Too much white blown out though...

very hard to focus on the swans with the background being the same colour, pity as it is a good idea, good luck

This could be a really nice shot. It is a shame that the detail is lost on the adult swan.

Hmm, if I push my monitor right back I can see the detail in the adult swans, but if I leave it so that I can see the full range in the white-greyscale-black rectangle, it appears very over exposed. Nonetheless, beautifully observed.

I really like high key images, but I think the swans get a bit lost in the background.

seems a little overexposed ...

the contrast should be higher, I would orefer if swans' necks were standing out from the background. Cute, anyway

This shows very overexposed on my screen. If it was toned down (ha ha, get it? Down? No, OK, never mind). Anyway, if it was toned down, I think it would be a really nice image.

Lovely subject matter. Could have done with being a little darker. Sorry, I love the image but it is a little too bright. 4
