What a dull day for photos, but managed to get a couple of decent shots of these fowl at our local lakes, i tempted the goose closer by pretending to have some food, the look was when it found out i had nothing for him  |

Nice to see some detail in those shots. Looks like the light hasn't done you any favours though - it might be worth adding some contrast and saturation in.

Hi ya
Like the swan shot, were these taken with the 400mm the exif has been striped.
Something I have been doing with my background is making a colour balance adjustment layer and adding a touch of blue. Think it brings out the white of the swan. Maybe not to everyone's taste, a bit like this one.
Cheers Holo
