    Lovely shot. Excellent detail in the bird, feathers and eye, and the background colour contrasts and complements the subject perfectly...
    Only minor point, the lump on the reflected head is a bit of a distraction...
    For me the colours and composition work beautifully

    Beautiful swan and very well captured. The lighting and feather details are excellent.

    I find it excellent in composition, exposure and presentation.

    Hello Dave
    a glamorous shot of the bird. I like the combination of colors and the framing.
    As Rich said: the lump is a bit distracting.

    Great shot of the swan...exposure and all is spot on target.
    You have the same water problems that I often have and can't figure out why...the muddy browns.

    Yes David...the last edit is better. I am just glad I wasn't the first one to criticize the lump...

    The new edit has resolved the "lump" issue....
    This is a cracking shot, and I love the colours in the water... as well as the detail in the Swan

    A beautiful bird. Nicely composed and good job bringing out the detail in the dark plumage. The lighting of the reflection doesn't match that of the bird itself which therefore looks unnatural.

    Just to make life difficult... Now it looks as if the reflected neck and head was an add on?
