I think this shot is very admirable in its timing. The composition is well done too & its pretty good technically (though the DOF could've been a bit greater to ensure sharp focus on the swan's head (easier said than done!!). I think its more impressive from the timing & trickyness aspect of the shot than the actual image. But a fine photo none-the-less. Cheers, Dunc
David,
Great capture with good timing!
I like the way you have cropped this with the swans neck and the ripples appearing to flow from the top right all the way to bottom left.
Normally strong reflections and underwater objects don't mix, but somehow the blue-ish reflection on the water works here and helps to emphasise that the head is under the water.
I might be tempted to clone out the bit of weed to the right of the swans head.
Mike.
