Amazing Grace

A pair of Swans feeding on Dudmaston Lake. Im often surprised by how many so called 'keen bird photographers' ignore these magnificent birds just because they are so common - such as shame as they are truly beautiful.

Re: Amazing Grace

Very nice image James the reflection add to it, did you consider a portrait crop or would that have made the subject too central?

Thanks for the suggestion - I think perhaps a square crop might work

Re: Amazing Grace

A very lovey image James. Like them being offset to the right and the reflection is a bonus to the image.

Re: Amazing Grace

Very very nice, James. I do like the texture that the ripples give to the reflections of the reeds. And the positioning of the swans ain't too shabby either.

Re: Amazing Grace

Super shot James. I quite often visit Dudmaston and have 'shot' swans on the small pools to the east of the A449 before carrying on over the main road to the big pool.
Maybe bump into you there sometime!
