It is different coming from you, and its a lovely capture I really like that the swan is alone and the look of the water flow turned out great. This must be a huge fountain, or? Nicely done Kathy. tigs=^..^=
That double series of cascades in this rounded fountain makes for a very soothing atmosphere--I can almost hear the water slapping the pond--and the single, distant swan is the crowning element, much like the sunlight shine spot on an eye that defines it as a moist, round, orb. That spot and the swan are both absolutely necessary. You won't mind, will you, if I make a copy but crop the bottom to remove the bush and make the entire ratio fit my screen parameters? Thank you.

Favorite. Details, details, details are outstanding, composition perfect, could not be better, and your eye is very good at catching a scene like this. Bravo!
