Portrait of a swan

Taken with a 50D. The 15 MP do make a difference!

Good portrait Richard, love the water droplets all over him. Very minor but i think the eye could be a little brighter

Hi Richard; very nice... great detail with the water-droplets...

Has your 350 been consigned to history, or did you borrow a 50D?

Cheers...

Hi C-F, No my 350 is in the wardrobe having a holiday! I will still use it - probably! The 50D is my nice new camera!

Stan, I've lightened the eye a tad via a dodge tool in photoshop. I think it makes a difference. The eye isn't so dark and some of the reflection in the eye is a bit more visible. The photo above will be an edited version, rather than posting it again. Esp as this is a very subtle difference!!

Pleased the water droplets came out well!

The added detail in the eye has made a lot of difference it has improved an already great shot.

yes, thats brought out some more detail. I can never get on with the dodge tool so what I do in this situation is make a selection of the eye, feather by 2 px, then open a levels layer and move the right hand slider to suit
