Portray of a BIG bird in various times

[david-low]

I used to go to our Botanical Garden and this is a culmination of about 2 mths work capturing various moods and action of the swan in various times of the day. I felt there are still much room that I left out where stronger lights prevail (esp. mid day) and I shall try out those times.

I have to agree with Harry here, as I was going through these images I thought just the same. Good work here.

Once again thanks guys for looking.

Give the same subject and same water backgrd, I can only play around with exposure and composition at various times of the day. Its an uncharted subject to me and happy that it turns out nicely.
