 Hollyrood Park, Edinburgh. I sat for hours trying to get a decent photo and eventually I got this one. There are many swans in the park, and they all belong to the Queen. Hollyrood Palace, the Queens Edinburgh residence, is just a stones throw away.

I used a Canon 70-200 L F4 lens, camera set at TV mode.

Once more an image (which for me) should have been amongst the ribbons.
I can feel it coming Tony.

Please don`t have me eating any more hats...I`m beginning to get indigestion :)

I thought for sure you'd get a ribbon! But congrats on the high placement anyway. It is a beautiful shot!

beautiful image. I really like the water spray. The border is a bit strong for my preferences though

Great motion you captured. Very sharp, right down to seeing splash of water.

This is nicely caught, with just the head in focus abnd everything else about the bird is blurred. Also the water descending .

Bird looks like it's Voguing. COmposition is pretty good, and the image conveys the movement of the swan very well. Was it cloudy when you took the picture? Only it looks a bit dark / dull... But aside from that I think it fits the challenge nicely.

Nice combo of motion and stillness and I like the blurred wings and water droplets,

What a lovely picture. It is well composed and the motion blur really enhances the subject. Great Job!
