Terrific capture Heather, that new location was a good one. What a beautiful sight to see all those swans together in such a peaceful looking lake.
Thank you Debra. It is such a peaceful lake, perfect for all of the birds who nest there and pass through. I'm planning to check back there again today in spite of the cold weather and snow in case some stragglers remain. Some of them hang on as long as there is open water on the lake.
Thank you Clifford, I'm glad I got these last photos before the snow and colder temperatures hit.
My artist eye is seduce with that shot Heather. The split screen is magical here. good choice of compo. It is like the background top part is tinted with the blue (or pink) of the water. It compliment so well the water bottom part. The top part has as much interest than the flock of birds in the water, making that a very strong picture. Love it.
Thank you Yves for your appreciation of the artistic side of this image. The swans were too far across to get the kind of detail I was hoping for but the view itself is really beautiful and it shows a little slice of the great migration that takes place every autumn and that I feel so fortunate to be able to view, listen to and photograph. It was an experience that I won't soon forget.
