This head shot of a swan i took a couple of months ago seems to fit this thread!

rather you than me on a cliff top John. The shot would be nice to see!

nice shot. This robin doesn't look like he takes any nonsense!

The 1st shot is ok, but it is what it is if you know what i mean. It's a picture of a swans head, and it needs a little more to add interest, and the light bit of grass touching the end of the beak is a bit distracting. 2nd shot is easily my favourite, the coot is nicely positioned in the frame...

My favourite part of the 1st mono shot which i think is great, is the slight curve of the shaft which shows us that she's just started the downswing and began transferring the power into the head of the driver. Plus the nice straight left arm would really be appreciated by any golfer, especially...

Thanks for the tips martyn, i'll give em a try and see if i can get finally get something decent!

Nice shot, i've been trying to capture something similar to this with little success. How did you get the focus bang on?

love the 2nd image. The light works really well. That is a photograph!

Nice shot, i got rid of the water drop, and edited it a bit.

Lovely shot, beautifully sharp. Compositionally, as you well know birds look better looking into space in the frame. For me i'd prefer a little more space on the bottom/possibly a little less on the top to balance the feel of the shot.

I was looking for a slider bar at the bottom, as i thought the bird must be over to the right of the frame.

White or black birds are notoriously difficult to photograph in certain conditions. This makes them an excellent way to learn your camera and in particular to learn about handling light and exposure. As for your post, it's a bit dull looking and i'm not really too keen on the composition of the...

For me num 4 is the stand out shot. I agree with Anthony that when the lead in takes you to out of focus, it doesn't usually work. For me though in number 4, the way that the focal point is blurry increases the sense of mystery and danger which is already there because of the tension created by...

Great contrast both tonally and in terms of the hard rock and soft water. The foreground really lifts this into a super image!

Quality edit Paul, you brought that shot to life!
