Swans on the Boyne

There nice !BUT!
It would have been nicer if you had either brought the angle
lower to the ground or just zoomed out a bit to include a bit
more of the surroundings. :DYou’ll probably get a better response if you directly link in 600 pixel or 800 pixel (along the longest side) images. Most people won’t follow links to other sites to view your full sized image. There’s a sticky in one of the other sections on how to post images.

The first one is over exposed. You might be able to remedy that if you shot in RAW by reducing the exposure or brightness. The colour looks off too … the water is a weird colour.
The second: technically it seems fine. But here’s the thing with Swans, Geese, Elephants, Rhinos, etc. They are easy to shoot but hard to make interesting. There’s a bazzilion shots of swans just sitting there. It is a place to start but not a place to stay. The trick is finding something different, getting some interaction between subjects or catching some action. Your first shot is an example of having the potential to be an interesting one. Have a look at the 2nd and 3rd shots in this post: https://www.photographyireland.net/viewtopic.php?t=6460
I notice the first one was over exposed but i was
for some reson afraid to say any thing.think I know what you mean, but the path was about five feet above the water so I could not get lower, I will try from a different part of the river
Aww i see
But i agree with joe interaction with the subject will
improve the picture or something more than just
a still swan on a still enough lake
