very good detail in your subject indeed - the muted water and background colours suit the image very well.

Very elegant, I like the swan and the picture looks clear, nice job.

Hi Jackie. What a great capture of this swan. I really like the grasses in the foreground. It really adds some depth to this shot. Well done. Thank you :)

I have to disagree with Phil on this one, the color on the water blends too much with the swan. there is no contrast. Don't get me wrong, the swan is a gorgeous animal. Is just that the focus is not on the bird, which I feel should be. It is very sharp and detailed, is just the tones!

There are lots of excellent swan pics on this website but yours is just total uniue and different, from the pose of the swan, to the delightful liquidity of the water. The short dark weeds at the bottom right help frame the picture in a soft and gentle way, not jaring the overall composition. The only negative critque is the background (shore). I don't care for it but I don't know what else could be done with it. None the less, a marvelous capture.

Beauty of a shot, such detail not only on the body but also the face. Nicely done.
