Je trouve que vous avez beaucoup trop accentué la netteté en PP, ce qui donne à votre photo un grain que je trouve particulierement desagréable... Amicalement...

Hello Wilson,

Excellent action shot of the mute swan. The image might be slightly "over sharpened" (if it is photoshop that you are using). There is another function, that you can highlight the swan at this juncture, and click on the "grow" function under "select" in the menu. This will get rid of the white spots on the edges, created by the oversharpening. Informative note as usual.
Have a restful, rejuvenating Sunday,
Bulent

Hello Wilson,
You pressed the shutter at the very right moment and the attitude of the swan is incredibly beautiful. A pity that the focus is not very good and well on the bird. But these are extremly difficult shots and you already managed to have a nice one.
Have a nice sunday.
Best regards, Christian

HI Wilson,

A difficult and wonderful capture .. it is one of those images where the negatives (the sharpening .. the tilt of the shore etc.. contrast .. and whatever anybody else can think to mention .. ) .. the negatives are just completely overwhelmed by the positive of this moment .. the sheer grace and beauty .. a gem in time.. thank you so much for posting it up ..

take care,

John

Hi Wilson,
An excellent capture of this swan taking off from the water, and with a great definition that allows us to see all the details of its feathers and the water drops. The effect of the movement gives a very dynamic touch to the photo, which in addition has a good lighting and a few perfect colors.
A great shot.
Best regards,
Josep

What perfect timing. I have read the comments about over-sharpening and have to agree, but the light is wonderful on the wings and you can always go back to the original and use less sharpening.

Hi Wilson,
you really got it in the right moment. The take off just outside the water. The composition is excellent for this one and the movement pretty good visible. Congratulations.

Hi Wilson. Nice shot of the flying swan. A three dimensional geometry. The two wings and the elongated neck almost parallel to the surface of water. Good perspective. Regards.

... and off it goes. Very nice action wildlife shot, Wilson. I like to see the water line in front of the swan. It gives the idea of a runway. I have the impression that you might have overdone in the sharpening process. Certain parts looks unnaturally crisp.

Hello Wilson,
Nice shot, although the swan was faster than the 1/320 exposure time. (:
The composition is great.
I think it's a bit oversharpened, so I tried to correct it a bit in a ws, hope you don't mind!
TFS!
Best wishes,

• [2007-05-16 4:38]

Hi, Wilson. Your shot shows all the power of the swan chasing its rival on the water. The tight framing enhances this impression. Movement is suggested by the open wings and the wake left by the goose in front and the swan behind. An excellent shot.

Bonjour Wilson,
si tu regardes ma galerie, tu verras que j'ai photographié ces meuveilleux moments d'envols de cygnes. Puissance indéniable, ils doivent s'arracher de l'eau, c'est toujours impressionnanr.
Une photo bien exposée qui montre le mouvement, un peu trop sharpen je pense.

Best regards.
Daniel.

Hi Wilson,

This is a good attempt at capturing what is a difficult subject. You can feel movement in the shot through the swans dynamic appearance and the splashing water. The photo is unfortunately over-sharpened around the swan and it looks a little sloped.

It's hard to get your camera set for a 'spur of the moment' shot like this but a wider aperture and even possibly moving to iso400 could have helped.
