This picture was very green, so I decided to make it black and white. Which give the whole picture a new feeling. I said in my other posts that I cannot feel my self improving, but in the last week I have been doing a lot of photography and I have found my self slowly improving, I don't know in what or how. But I can feel it.
Some of the frost that was out, its a nice photo as the lights shines off of it and creates the nice dots of light.
This shot, was difficult because of the reflection and the low light conditions. Also with the hand holding it was very difficult but I did manage to stay still long enough to get this and the reflection which is surprisingly sharp.
Now for some reason I feel like this is a professions shot. I don't know why but that's how i feel about it. It has that sense of darkness but with the light on the light green moss. I will see if cropping out the sky and some of the trees give it much more of a darker and more intimate feel.
This juvenile mute swan was swimming with two of its brothers, but I cropped them out and got him swimming and with the reflection it was slightly green to start and I shall have a separate post to show the difference.
These next two are the same shot but cropped and with magically the same alterations. I, lucky, think it works with both cropping and with out it.
Although the front swan is out of focus I just feel like it has the sense of movement and selection.
Now I have done some 'jiggery pokery' with this photograph. But although I have done it I have tried to keep it as simple as possible. If you can spot it tell me and I shall let you know!
