I went for a walk yesterday and try to capture a swan with my M Zuiko 40-150mm kit lens. I usually don't take photos of animal or birds often. Im too slow :D
I will attached the raw file and the edit file.

Hi Serge, I think your original shot was excellent the composition and colours
really compliment the subject, I couldn't resist adding my two cents to this.
Hope you don't mind.
I think we tend to crop to much especially with wildlife shots and we loose
context and environmental information My take on your original and a crop
from my perspective.

Hi tonyB,
I usually don't crop so much. I did it this time just to get a minimalist effect.
You are right context is very important.
Thank you for your input.
See you on the stream!
