Today, our featured photographer on the DPNow Picture of the Day is Jim, who is registered on the DPNow forum and galleries as strontian.
Jim is a Canon EOS-350D shooter, and last time we heard from him on POTD, he was hoping to go places with a new lens for landscape photography. But here we have a text book swan study. The reflection of the swan's neck and head is preserved, the balance of the highlights in the swan's plumage and the surrounding watery darkness is just about right, and there is the richness in the colour of the beak. Nobody is claiming this is a particularly original image, but it's very good for its type, and I'd certainly be happy with this one. Well done, Jim!

We are always on the look out for great pictures posted to the user-galleries here on DPNow. POTDs are selected from the gallery and featured every week day. The gallery facility here is completely free; all you need to do is register as a user on our discussion forum and you will get an automatic 25MB of space, which is good for around 125 pictures uploaded at web resolution, about 200K per picture. At the time of writing we had just over10,000 pictures on the galleries and it's well worth a browse.

The DPNow Golden Gallery
Our ultimate accolade, the DPNow Golden Gallery, is reserved for what we feel are the very finest images. We invite anyone to submit their pictures for inclusion in the Golden Gallery. Why not have a look at the Golden Gallery submission form? The vast majority are usually rejected, which is why we feel that the ones we do feature are extra special.
