is this all one image? based on the perspective of the ducks at the bottom, it appears to be put together using photoshop again...either way, i really enjoy it
Posted by tanner at February 25, 2005 12:18 AMI love being surprised by the three swans at the bottom -- especially the one with its head underwater! They make the picture a little more unusual.
Posted by Gloria at February 25, 2005 12:24 AMNice photo. I like the sprinkling of black ducks amongst the white swans. In Spain, I saw my first black swans. Maybe I'll post them to my site tomorrow.
Posted by Pramesh at February 25, 2005 12:33 AMWild goose chase! :^)
Perhaps it's been covered and I missed it. How do you get such LONG shots? Are they panoramas stitched together?
A great scene... the water color seems very real... and the subjects quite endearing. As usual, a great piece of work. Thanks for sharing it with us, Sam.
Posted by Abe at February 25, 2005 01:22 AMbeautiful shot. how did you manage to get so close to the swans? arenīt they kind of shy? maybe itīs a real zoom-up. good work!
Posted by magnus at February 25, 2005 03:02 AMdo I see ugly ducklings? awww....
love the green/white/orange/black colours - wonderful variety :D
i ll be there in about 4 weeks, and i can't wait to see those great places you show us everyday......
Posted by nicolas at February 25, 2005 04:20 AMI am frequent visitor of your posts. What i notice in your photos is that some of your photos contain multidimensional sense(?). For eg: in this pic i am seeing the swans in the lake which is from an upper angle and at the same time the distant frozen lake too from a horizontal view point. Is this the regular situation in advanced photography or is it something special through some technique. What is the technique here?
simple
nice perspective i like the angle it's at
Posted by jorden at February 25, 2005 07:09 AMBeautiful.
I love the emerald-green water contrasting with the pure white swans and their orange beaks.
The ducks look so small along side the swans!
Posted by Paul at February 25, 2005 07:28 AMAwesome catch! Glad you were able to stick the geese into the photo. Adds a slight 'cute' factor.
Posted by Kevin at February 25, 2005 07:45 AMGreat shot wvs, but I have to tell you, there isn't much dry land south of Toronto! Not until you hit New York state anyway!!1
/Probly meant south Toronto
Posted by qoJ at February 25, 2005 07:52 AMI like this one, it has an interesting range of scales from a heavy sky to the foreground detail.
Posted by Praealtus at February 25, 2005 07:54 AMGreat shot, looks very cold. The swans in the front make a good contrast.
Posted by The Living Eye at February 25, 2005 07:55 AMVery nice image.
Posted by buggy at February 25, 2005 01:06 PMS W E E T!!!!!
Posted by bob at February 25, 2005 02:28 PMthe swan with it's head under-- i love how you captured that moment. its wonderful.
Posted by kandi at February 25, 2005 07:49 PMvery good, i find the scrooling annoying sometimes, but in this one it really works, unfolding the picture gradually
Posted by fernando at February 25, 2005 08:41 PMNice shot, I like the length of it. I also like the swans near the bottom. And how the land in the distance is perfectly horizontal.
Posted by Raffi at February 25, 2005 08:44 PMYes, great shot, but I would be interested to know, like others here, what lens you used?
The shy one in the front is like a jumbo, white-meat chicken wing to me. Nice.
Posted by Boreo at February 25, 2005 10:37 PMAaaaawwwww, the little ducks are so cute...and I love the body language of the swans and the details of the ice, it gives the photo a suggestion of danger.
Posted by Mariana at February 26, 2005 01:50 AMNice photo! I just love the relationship of the background and foreground, the three swans relative the rest.
