*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*
A great action shot that meets the challenge
Your element of choice for the challenge is water featuring a group of quarrelsome swans. I like the moment you have captured with the main bird in the process of taking to the air which also gives a feel for the additional element of air.
You have captured the main bird nice and sharp with a lovely wing shape giving it a real dynamic. Your title introduces a fun element in the suggestion that the bird is dancing on the water, its always good to make your viewer smile.
There are a couple of things that I would have done differently, the first is to use a slower shutter speed which would make the drops and splashed water less defined and obvious, I think 2 stops slower would be better, it would also introduce some motion blur in the wingtips which gives it more of dynamic feel. The other is the composition, I get the feel that your panoramic crop is done to include the bird on the left to show the aggression and its response of flight? As an image I think it would work better if he were excluded but you may well totally disagree with that.
All in all, a competent image that has been well appreciated here with a respectable score and several positive comments so well done, Sid |
