Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

Beauty and Grace has been a nice series Tigz. You did have two Beauty and Grace #3 so would that make this #5? Just kidding.
They are a beautiful bird and you present them so well.
Reflection is your middle name.

Wonderful ripples going to that very interesting and minimalist framing - very well done - beauty and grace in the presentation as well.

This is such a serene capture of this swan. Lovely to see its wings like that too. Well done!

Nice on the exposure, Sandi.

All feathers are visible, even in the 'whites'.

Clarity and focus are good good, too.


And the gentle concentric ripples are a delicate touch to the graceful posturing captured. Imparts, visually, a sense of balletic movement overall.


Nicely done. :o)

Those raised wings are a typical sign of agitation! I notice he/she is looking directly at you Tigz. Well done on another classic upload.

Wonderful capture of the swan in that almost still water with the light ripples.

Beautiful shot, loads of detail, but the crop could be much more effective.
The reflection of the neck exiting the bottom border commands almost as much attention as the rest of the image.
If you crop in from the left border to just past the second big ripple, and up from the bottom to just a tiny slice below the full body reflection, the entire image becomes a single entity, with the cut-off neck not affecting the overall image at all. More impact, better balance, and comfortable viewing of all the swan detail , reflections and the ripples.
