[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Do you remember such a story "The Ugly Duckling" by Hans Christian Andersen?

"But what did he see in the clear stream below? His own image; no longer a dark, gray bird, ugly and disagreeable to look at, but a graceful and beautiful swan."

Here it is - even several of them, still awaiting this magic moment that will happen the next year...

Fajna fotka, niezla technicznie ale mam wrazenie, ze kadr mogly byc lepszy - troche za duzo "poobcinanych" labedzi ;)
Ogolnie podoba mi sie.
Pozdrowienia :)

Hi Michal,
Very sharp detail, and good DOF in this shot for f/4.1. It looks like it was a pretty cloudy day when this was shot. This has muted the colors some. The only problem on composition is it looks like the guy in the upper right had his head cut off, and put in the lower left. Thats just my opinion..which does not count for much...

Hello Michal,
this is a very nice capture. Composition is great and good colours too. A good one, very well done. Thanks for sharing.
