One of the shots from my first outing with my new toy!

Hope you like it - one of the many Mute Swans to be found on the River Wharfe in Otley....

Love the D80 so far - still plenty to learn though...

Thanks for looking.

Doug,

Very detailed, hard to keep from "blowing out" the whites. You did well here with the exposure.

Hi Doug,
well, not a bad first shot at all mate! i really like your framing here, and the frontal POV gives this Swan quite a stern attitude! Looks like it was very bright light (when did you have some sunshine??), but i think it works really well here, especially against such a dark background. Sharp detail too - nice!
