Hi Michael, once in a lifetime...
WOW!!! maybe a shorter shutter speed would have enhanced this even more. Otherwise no complaints ! Great work. Yours, Jan

Hi Michael, This a fantastic photo here, the reflection is just perfect, but why did you keep the bobber behind when you can erased it with the tool stamp on photoshop?
Anyway this is a nice job, Well done.

The colours here are great - was it late afternoon? One thing I'm not sure about is whether I'd clone out the buoy or not - it might be a distraction, or it might actually add something to the photo. Nice photo!

Nice one , Really nice Michael!

You took it indeed at the right time as you have absolutely an untouched and perfect water surface. Well done!

Hi Michael,
I see that you made the continuation of The International Festival of the Sea at Portsmouth Naval Base - fantastic plane (never seen it!) and looks like an elegant, taking off swan. Beautifully reflected in the water and the ekhm... well... plane's pose is so dynamic. The orange-black thingy on the left (looks like floating mine) makes good contrast for dynamics of the swan-like plane. I like it! tfs

Sweet stuff Michael. I really like your work.
Perhaps you may want to consider a variation where you clone-out that orange object in the upper left of the picture (i think that would look great).
A nice job nonetheless.

Michael
This is a dream photo to me
Was driving almost a have year trough an area with flying swans.
Looking for an opportunity to capture one.
Like a lot of things in live I gave up and then suddenly got one as a gift.
This one is absolute a gift. You was there and a camera adjusted for a perfect capture
Real good and believe me I am jealous
