CommentBlack Swan - I wasn't quite sure where to position the bird, I think I have left enough in front, I wanted to include the water trail behind, I think it gives it a sense of speed. I would have liked one foot above the waterline. I didn't bring the shadows out much because it left it rather patchy with light and dark areas. I don't like noise anyway and using NR reduces any feather detail that might be there so for me it defeats the purpose. The bg is rather distracting but he was relatively close to a messy grassy bank. Anyway would appreciate any feedback. Thanks in advance
