Swan Leaf

[Rob MacKillop]

An odds and sods collection today...I seem to be in a dark mood, but I'm quite relaxed and happy really! DP2M, SPP, Nik.

I'm in a dark mood for months now but these have cheered me up somewhat after a stressful day dealing with solicitors and trying to get them to do what I am paying for (close to an end now).
Two lovely images and the swan shot is so different but it works wonderfully well. I like the style you have used to present them.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Tom. Is there every any other kind of day, when solicitors are involved? Stress is everywhere, and those smart fellows have figured out a way to live off it. If only I were as smart. Alas.

 

[Pete Askew]

Stunning image of the swan Rob. Quite sensual too.

The leaf ain't bad either and makes for a great title!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

That's the only reason the leaf is there, Pete!

I'm glad your not as smart Rob, not their kind of smartness anyway.
I like you as you are!

You know, it would also be interesting without the neck. Angelic / demonic.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Yes, good point. But I do like the curve of the neck...

Pentecostal even Pete

good pictures albeit I had a hard time figuring out the first one. Cheer up lads, there are light up above. And solicitors aren't as smart as they think. By the way, eventually we need no money where we are going. C'est la vie

Excellent work Rob, enough ambiguity to create two interesting images.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, gents. Whenever I pass that pond, which is quite often, I often think to myself, "don't photograph the ducks and swans, it would be really boring". But this time I couldn't resist. The light was odd, and the body/feathers were so bright. I had to drop the EV to -3, then try F11 to avoid burnout. but I'm pleased with the result. I added a bit of Glamour Glow in Nik Colour.

Smiled when i read this as I have the same thoughts on a few subjects including swans. I've yet to get a swam picture that I,ve liked. Your swan though for me at least , brought out the grace and majestic side of a swam, as well as I've seen .

 

[Brian Moore]

That swan is a cracking image, Rob.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thank you, gentlemen. Job done, I can now rest easily

OK, that's the rest over with. What else is out there?
