They don't come a lot more graceful than that Dave.
Nice use of DoF too.

Lovely detail you’ve captured there in your graceful swan

[Shugpug]

Absolutely lovely - the detail on the foreground swan is amazing, and great composition.

 

[rpn]

That's a cracker of a shot. The best so far this year.

Sharp with plenty of feather details and texture. Good composition and odd numbers always make a stronger image.

[Darkslinger]

Nice one Dave, similar idea to what I was thinking...and I think it meets the technique requirement as well...

 

[rpn]

That's a lovely shot, Dave. Very nice monochrome too. Pin sharp on the main subject and enough blur to retain details elsewhere.

 

[Fuji Dave]

That`s a cracking shot and take on theme Dave, love the others all blurred.

thats a great image for static, really well composed and great use of shutter speed. the mono PP works for it too.

 

[Cobra]

It certainly works well on both counts Dave. Well thought out and nicely taken

Great shot, well executed. I'm always amazed how much movement there is in a scene like this, even at "only" 1/7th.

[vanishedbob]

Static, Marvellous. Was the shot (i.e girl on the bench) posed? Technique and capture are amazing.

Patterns. Lovely. Detail, colour, capture the lot. I love the gradual increase in the size of the shadows!

Thanks - no I was on a boat waiting tio set off down the river in Chester.

That viaduct is always worth a shot

 

[CliveH]

Very nice Dave, shadow patterns, Arch Patterns and the patterns on the hills and on top of that really pleasing to look at.

 

[LC2]

Graceful - Ah, the other Swan shot I was told about Nicely done young Dave. he has his beady eye on you.
Static - Well that's bloody brilliant. Very fortunate that she was as still as she was for your shot. great movement around her.
Pattern - Great shot of the viaduct and teh pattern of light on the brickwork.
The train seems a little overpowered for 4 mk3s and a mk1

 

[Nostromo]

Static
Lovely shot, I don't have anything else too add.

Patterns
Good light and shadow in the arches.

 

[FlyPhot]

great image, there are certainly plenty of patterns there!
