On the wing

I was quite pleased with the panning on this but the sun was bright so the whites have blown which is a shame. I like the river though.

[Melanie Savage]

The colours in the water are great, good panning too :)

[John]

Cool capture. They always look like they are flying backwards to me.

[Jo]

Seriously no!! Lol go check out my Flickr - I was taking pix of a flying swan today too!!

[Pat Knowles]

You have caught the power of those wings so well as the swan climbs up from the water. Gorgeous ripples & light.

[Judith Greenwood]

@jlhopgood Ooh yeah - you got close up - love the middle one especially!

[Jo]

@judithg They look amazing when they fly don't they? :)

[Judith Johnson]

Love the action in this shot. Looks even better close up as it highlights all the colours reflected in the water.

[Jane Pittenger]

Awesome panning. Love the rainbow ripples too

[Jen Hudson]

Beautiful capture, the wings look huge. The ripples look amazing and great colour too.

[Sharon Addison]

oh this is fabulous, I have the same camera as you and my "birds in flight" look nothing like this - really impressed !

[Kimberlee]

gorgeous! I love how the wings are just brushing the water...

[Alison Tomlin]

Very cool. Really like all that reflected light!

[Lesley Allen]

Great colours and details of the water, shame the bright light took some of the detail away from the swan. great action shot.

[Phil Howcroft]

Perfect capture!

[Graham Harcombe]

I think it's the gracefulness of that down beat with the primaries spread out that make it a lovely composition.

[Patricia Fletcher]

Wonderful impressionistic water! Beautiful.

[Clare]

[Jennifer Ruge]

The swan looks so elegant in flight.
