Hi Joe
What I like here the most is the moment and almost magical sky (blue vs white) with flying angel on foreground. There are little problems with sharpness but it is a minor thing here I like it very much

Hello Joe,
Nice to be back and have you as a neighbour but I'm glad I wasn't a target for this Swan!!
Great action shot in beautiful light. Good focus and fine details especially of the wing. Nice sky in the background too.
TFS and cheers, Ulla

Beautiful in-flight capture from a good perspective Joe, perfectly frozen in space against an interesting BG! The swan may be "mute" but surely had a lot to "drink" beforehand...

Our Amtrak passenger train has dunnies which flow right out on the tracks..they say no they have them no longer, but when I flushed on in Iowa I saw the tracks whizzing by...a double whizz if you will:-) Fascinating and a lucky chance shot! So straight in flight. You are remarkable!

Hi Joe,

Don't you allow anyone their privacy?? And of course you caught him on a white cloud to show it off even more. Seriously, great shot of this swan with his nice face, long neck, and wonderful wings. So graceful in everything he does.

Hi Joe

Fabulous shot of the in-flight Swan.
Nicely composd with a excellent pose and POV, I like the way the head has come past the clouds and has the Blue Sky as BG.
Great colours and nice exposure on the whites, with great light too.

So when I'm walking along on a nice sunny day and feel a splash of rain on my head I guess I should look up & check from now on or maybe its best not knowing!

Hi Joe

It's always a treat when we have such surprises while looking at the photos on a big screen :)
This one is really well captured and the timing is definitely...well...funny :))
Great in-flight, with superb sharpness and a spot-on exposure. When dealing with flying swans and especially when you have a fluffy white cloud in the BG, it's always very difficult to keep the shot in a good exposure...also because you don't always get a second chance :) You really managed it like a true pro here!

BRAVO and TFS

Hi Joe

I always liked watching swans fly overhead...I might be a bit more careful in the future :)

You really caught the..umm..moment. That aside it is a lovely shot as well with the frozen action and blue sky BG. Perfect exposure

Hello again Joe! ;D

Very funny shot Joe! This is very sharp! The DOF is great and the blurry BG is brilliantly effective!

Very well done,

Danny :D

Hello Joe,
Great capture of this swan dumping his pay load, a good reason never to look up when they are overhead. This image has great sharpness and color especially for an inflight. Great work once again Joe, thanks.

Hello Joe,
Extraordinary moment.
Besides the 'toilet' there's another amazing thing: due to the in flight moment the S -shaped neck is gone and you can see how loooong the neck actually is.
Well done
