Swans in Windsor

[Mad Aussie]

It looks like you had someone ducked down in front holding up a loaf of bread there Gem

Either that or Swans find you particularly attractive for some other reason

Certainly looks much better in the 2nd shot and as Dwayne suggested a few tweaks will help a bit. I've never seen so many swans in one spot before like that!

Dwayne, we appear to be on the same wavelength because I do have a cropped version like how you mentioned! But, it was in colour and didn't quite work for me. Although I'll try it in B&W and see how it goes Thanks for the suggestion

I think birds in general just like me Geese at a nearby lake were drifting towards me too

Then you and I are 'chalk and cheese' cause unless I'm holding their dinner and not my camera, birds take one lok at me and head 'them tha hills!'
