16th June

This swan wasn't too happy to have his photo taken. He proceeded to attack me. Luckily I carried on shooting to catch the action. See here: http://www.pbase.com/image/30235012 and here: http://www.pbase.com/image/30235014 I survived without a scratch!

Wow just spotted this one, this is a great shot nice depth also.The toning is excellent, love how you have burnt in the edges. A pro shot U shouldn't be doing this for a living.

awesome! I really like it. A lot. It gives a lot more depth and thought to the normal "animal picture"
Guest 17-Jun-2004 16:21

Love the angle and the vignetting goes nice with the tones.

Love your vantage point here! The sepia tones are excellent. The other two photos are good as well. But I'd have run..

Nice beautiful shot. LOL from all the other pictures.

Great tonal values and perspective.
We'll see you on the next episode of "When Animals Attack!"

Very nice Goeff, thanks for including the other shots also, too funny, I'm glad you are ok. Regards, Ken

This is a great image and of course is an excellent PaD. However, I like the one with swan attacking... has much more drama and action to it.

Cool shot!
I like this low viewpoint...

hilarious story.. great job, and watch out for Rabid Swans that spit venom.

Beautiful shot , they must have a nest around somewhere near , that could be why it is so agressive . Keep watch and they should have some cygnets around soon if they haven't already , take care though , don't get too close as they are powerful birds .

Beautiful shot. She probably attacks all of the paparazzi;-)

Amazing. From the thumb I thought it was the Loch Ness monster!
