The swans aren't large enough to convey grace by themselves, but the rippling water and swirling mist gives a nice feeling of grace which is complemented by the unobtrusive swans. The great fall colors are a nice bonus.
Excellent subject matter and a superb setting, especially with the fog coming off the lake. The only thing I would have criticize about this shot is the fact that the birds (not sure what they are) are much too small in the image. Of course I'm sure you were probably limited to the lens you were using, which makes things tough. Overall nice shot, I like it!
Beautiful shot! If you dont mind me asking where was this taken? This is a gorgeous view, great color and the lighting is wonderful, very subtle and tranquil, 9
I am giving you a very decent mark but would have given you a higher mark if the ducks in the water were either slightly bigger or out of the picture all together. To me the "grace" is in the beauty of the foliage and the reflection in the water including the fact of the fog burning off the lake.
Wow, what an amazing shot! There is only one thing I would fix, I feel that the swans are a bit too far away. I would really like to se a little bit more of the swans. I really really enjoy the lighting and the vibrant colors. Great depth!
Very pretty rendition of autumn leaves. The swans get kind of lost in it all, though they provide scale and a focal point - as well as making the photo fit the theme.
