The crop is a little tight for my taste, but it's nice and sharp, with good exposure on the white bits too. Nice one!

Thanks Tim.
I think on reflection the crop may be a little tight (not that a lot has been cropped off to be honest), I was literally within "arm-breaking" distance when I took it!
I'm a little disappointed that some auto resizing has made it look a fair bit less sharp than the original, but fairly pleased that I've avoided any glaring burn-out.

If you can't say something nice about Pentax, you won't say anything at all.

Good exposure and focus! But as said before, I think the swan needs a little more breathing space.
Re. auto resizing: Why not make the image 800 pixels wide before uploading, then it won't be resized. And you have full control of the sharpness.

Thanks for the comments and advice. I normally do resize before uploading, but forgot this time..Doh!Good exposure and focus! But as said before, I think the swan needs a little more breathing space.

I'll have a look at the original, and see if there was much more breathing space on it, there might have been a bit.
