april swan

...so, to my local pond again, it was a gorgeous day, so thought I'd go and take some photos there. They are doing all sorts of changes to the surrounds of the pond, and they've built a wooden deck that extends over some of the water, so there's a great view of the wildlife.

There were people feeding the birds and I captured this swan reaching out for some food. I just love the angle, I think quite different from usual shots of these beautiful birds

This would be stunning hung on a wall, love the black and white with the pop of orange - just beautiful and a fave for me!

Awesome composition! So artistic and beautifully framed!

Oh cool. Have you used posterize or something? Nicely abstract!
posted April 1st, 2012  
@layahmarie - thanks Layahmarie
@miley89 - thanks Miley - no posterize - all I did was sharpen a bit, and removed some soggy bread in the water - the swan was in the shade...did nothing else
posted April 1st, 2012  
Ohh that's really cool. It really does look like the posterize effect. Nicely done!

Brilliant shot! favorite!

Really cool composition and perspective. It reminds me of those visual perception graphics of a goblet, two faces, goblet, two faces....... Ack, make it stop! This shifts in my minds eye from the swan to a flower to a gap between two people or where two tree limbs come together or...........
posted April 3rd, 2012  
Wow, great angle..total fav!

this is excellent! love the composition. I didn't realise it was a swan until I'd followed the white all the way down to the beak. It looks like a painting. Love it!
