In a brief burst of photos,. in only this one did there wings end up in perfect sync... looking for all the world like I broke out the clone tool!

But no! This is the actual photo (cropped a bit) and the near sunset light cast the shadow of the rightmost Swan's wing and neck on the lefthand Swan's wing to prove it!

This is a very beautiful and remarkable image.
*************************************

Imagine swans -- I have never seen them in the air before. Plus the colors are so soft and grey.

I might add that I thought that I had done well -- when after the fact -- I noticed in a two- daisy image, that one's pertals were shadowing the others.

Excellent.

BRAVO!

Very nice CDS, always a treat to see your work, and it gets more unbelievable every time.

BTW, where you on a 40ft step ladder when you took that, it looks like and Air to Air photo!

Great capture CDS, as I definitely know how hard it is to try to get birds in flight in focus!
