WOWWW Édith,
He bien moi, je vois plus qu'une différence dans la netteté, c'est le jour et la nuit, bravo! Félicitations pour cet équipement, j'utilise du Canon mais je vais m'informer sur tes nouveaux joujoux. Les détails, la luminosité, la composition, tout est parfait! Ces petites gouttes d'eau sont superbes. J'imagine que tu dois voir une différence toi aussi. Encore bravo!
Claudine
PS, Tu essayeras de toujours grimper en haut de F 5.6 si possible tu vas encore capter plus de détails avec une plus petite ouverture mais ce n'est qu'un conseil car cette photo est superbe!

Hello Edith

Congratulations with your new toy - and it seems to work very well too. It is a very nice capture of this beauty. The sharpness is excellent as well as the dof making a well blurred background. The pov is very good too and the colours look very natural. I really like the pose with the swan looking down which makes a diagonal line towards the lower left corner. The composition is OK but I think you could improve it even more if you put the eye of the swan on the right third line of the frame - meaning a little less space behind the swan. If you still have the original I think you should give it a chance. Apart from that little nit it is an amazingly nice shot.

Well done
Mogens

Hi Edith

First of all, congratulations on your new equipment! It sound like a good deal (I've read a lot and heared many new things about the new D80) so we are looking forward in seeing a lot of beautiful shots from you!
This one here is a great start, with lovely colors and light, very nice sharp details and a good, shallow DOF that blurred the BG very well.

Bravo and TFS

Bella imagen mi amiga capturada con el foco y la agudeza necesarios, además de la gran iluminación captada, ofrecen bellos detalles del ave realzados por el perfecto contraste con el fondo.
Me gusta el encuadre elegido acorde al punto de vista captado.
Chapeau!
Ricardo

Beautiful image my friend captured with the focus and the necessary sharpness, besides the great captured illumination, they offer nice details of bird enhanced by the perfect contrast with the bottom.
I like the elected framing in agreement to the captured point of view.
Chapeau!

Hello again Edith,
This is an excellent swan portrait. I like the colors and the drops of water on its head. A smaller aperture would give sharper beak perhaps.
Best wishes,

Salut Edith,
Votre portrait de ce cygne me plaît beaucoup! C'est si parfait ce cliché: les coleurs brillantes et claires et la netteté impeccable comme le fond vague, mais d'abord, j'aime son regard d'oeil et la pose de la tête. Vous avez réussi très bien ici vraiment! Merci beaucoup pour ce partage sympathique!
Amitiés,
