Swan gets emotional...

Photo Information

I was snapping a rather elegant Mute Swan this morning when he decided to clear all the other birds out of his lake - made for some interesting action shots...

A good shot but I would have preferred it in a different format than this letter box.
When I saw the thumbnail in the gallery I thought it was something totally different. It's such a magnificent shot that it deserves to be shown properly and not squeezed into a panoramic format.
This format does nothing for the shot

Sorry

Thanks it's useful feedback. I was experimenting with various crops on several pictures and actually didn't mind this at all, although I think you're right - it's always good to get an independent opinion.
