[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Caught this Mute Swan as it hit take off on Connaught Water, Epping Forest. The light wasn't the greatest - but on the other hand it meant that I wasn't over-exposed on the white feathering. I spanned the swan and clicked away as it headed across the lake.

Excellent capture!! Great DOF .. entire bird is in focus .. looks like your ISO is high, pic looks a little graint but you would need that to get the focus in low light. Good shot, I might have cropped it a little closer.

Hi ed,

A nice capture of this swan take off,
good POV and DOF and in my idea good cropped as well,

TFS,Paul

It's a great capture, a good pose and the exposure is about right. Nice and sharp as well.
It's a shame the water's murky brown instead of crystal blue, though ;)
Oh well, there's always photoshop.
