Hi Mike

I like this sort of image but prefer to see more of the head/beak. The whites are looking a bit blue - increase the colour temp and tint in ACR and its sorted

How do you know it was mute? You too would probably have difficulty speaking if you had your head tucked into your armpit!
On a more serious note I must say Mike you have taken some great shots with that lens.

Re: Preening Mute Swan

agree on the tint, a bit too blue. no doubt would have been better for me with head out and up, but this still works very well. that lens is not disappointing you Mike

Re: Preening Mute Swan

I agree it's too blue, but I think that adds to the mood of the image, normally blue is cold, but this has a warmth that is very appealing.

Cheers all
It looks OK on my monitor and phone - Time to recalibrate methinks

Thanks for the tips and comments
I quite liked the abstract look of this shot
