    Default a couple of a swan from tonight

    I went for an able to the waters edge and snapped a couple I thought I'd share, theyve both been resized and had a little tweek in picasa but no photoshopping or cropping at all

    I wish I could have got the best of both and had the swans head up like in picture one only with the background of picture two (which btw is my favourite) I did take some more but I'll post them in the morning

    another 3 of the swans from last night, its the 2nd one again that I prefer, the swan has a bit of attitude in that one were as the 1st I think it looks a bit scared and the 3rd it looks a little randy lol (or maybe thats just me projecting lol)

    I've had a good look through the ones I got of the signet and they're either little blurry or its looking away and im not really happy with them (out of the 20ish shots there's really only 1 or 2 I'd upload and one has literally got the arse end of a swan in it lol

    again as before they've not been in photoshop yet, they have had a little resize in picassa but no cropping

    cheers fellas

    I was shocked how close I could get I was literally 5ft from them, there was a little posturing when the signet came close which was fun; My grandad had a goose that used to so the same so I just played along and stood my ground and it decided I was ok

    When i saw the title i thought "oh god, the old swans in the park photos!" but these are actually quite interesting. If you removed the swan from the second one the scope of the scene would seem much wider, unless its actually a 15ft swan.

    it was a bigger close up than I thought

    if it'd attacked me it would have been 15ft in every story I told lol
