Artists have a blank canvass and they create from what they see, whereas photographers take what they see and create something.

    I can only repeat what the others have said... great portrait. Sharp, detailed, nicely posed and perfectly exposed.

    This image was taken back in March this year in Wilton, near Salisbury. I was in my powerchair and I saw this Swan. I had my roaming camera a Canon 20D with my Canon EF50mm f1.4 attached so I had to get close. My wife and kids stood right back, while I carefully edged forwards. This Swan though just didn't care and carried on cleaning itself. When I got into position I already had the exposure sorted and snapped away. I don't claim to be a wildlife or bird photographer, but its pleasing to get a shot like this when the chance presented itself.
