Had to go back through posts to see RMM's advice about a potrait crop, I admit I did miss that so sorry RMM.

I hadn't even thought about it but will certainly give it a try

I hadn't thought of our natural tendancy to look left to right so thankyou for pointing that out, I will definately keep that in mind in future.

As for the crop I was limited by that damn post again ;)
Here is a small version of the original and as you can see I also had to clone out the other swan

I agree that we in the west tend to look left to right, but the natural world isn't so conveniently oriented. It doesn't bother me to see the photo as you shot it. What might be interesting is to crop it into a portrait orientation, losing about a third of the left side and maybe coming in some on the right. You could also crop some off the bottom. That would eliminate the post problem.

A basic rule that I was told about to get your images noticed first is to crop them in Portrate mode.
To prove this go into your supermarket and try and see a packaging that is in landscape mode!!!!!!!!!
if you crop the swan in portrate mode as RMM sugesed IMHO you would have an award winning picture.

Have to say that the basic rule in composition is the rule of thirds, to get your subject on one of the lines that intersect on the rule of thirds. As to say about the supermarket we are talking about totally different images, in the supermarket the images are there to attract your attention to a product so you will buy the product, end of. If I was cropping a landscape image I'm I going to crop it in portrait mode I don't think so, portrait mode is for portraits, end of.

I do hope you aren't just picking up on a typo :roll:
