Radipole Lake Swan.

Radipole Lake Swan.
This was a bit of an accidental shot. I was leaning over the bridge but pressed the shutter button too soon, so the bridge is cutting across the swan, but I quite liked the effect, so kept it.

Photos that we think we failed can be very successful - like this one!
(nothing to see, but many great cooking recipes are often the result of an error!!!...... but there, I digress!!!!)
Have a nice day Rosalyn******

A great "accidental result", the dark tones go well with the image of the swan.

I think this is really beautiful Rosa and a little surreal.............the light on the swan is gorgeous and very effective with the dark surroundings. It's good to see something different from the "normal" swan images, even if it was accidental :-))

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Keith Burton club
It was a big surprise to me Keith. I couldn't have done it if I had tried!! The next shot I took of the swan was in fact boring ;-))

The effect has made this into a wonderful piece of art Rosa. As Keith says, almost surreal. You know I love light and you have it in abundance here. Great swan too :)

The black background that surrounds the whiteness of the swan actually creates a truly remarkable effect!

Your accident makes a wonderful image Rosalyn it leaves you wondering if it's coming into the light or going into the dark. I hope you have had a pleasant day, it's been a bit damp and dismal but that is better than the white stuff Good night

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Peter Castell club
Not often they work Peter, but in this case I was lucky. I saw plenty of the white stuff in Shaftesbury yesterday, but thankfully it was snowdrops.....hundreds of them :)
Have a good day.

Hi Rosa
I like this picture very much!
It is a very different composition! Sometimes these things work well, as in this case.
The dark environment works well for it, just avoiding overexposure and loss of detail, plus an air of mystery as to where he is!

Best Wishes, and stay safe!!

Hi Peter,
As it was an unintentional shot, it wasn't composed at all, but with this result
maybe I should try it more often ;-) Thank you for your kind comments.
Best wishes and a good day,
Rosa.

You are right to have kept this shot very high in contrast and mystery: quite a fascinating portrait, Rosa!

I was close to deleting this shot on camera Eric, but then I took a closer look and kept it.
I am pleased that I did. It would be good to have a few more accidental shots like this :-)

No it works perfectly Rosa. I love the way the beautiful swan is half in shade and the light catches her head and wings really nicely. Surrounded by the dark water this is a terrific capture
