 No need to enter a duck for this one, I'm sure there'll be plenty in the challenge ... so here's a swan. Don't anybody ever say I'm not versatile :P

First time I've ever entered on the first day of a challenge!

beautiful bird. Excellent capture. Trying to think of what I would have done differently. Can't think of anything. The POV is excellent - I love shots where people get on the level of what they are shooting - makes the image that much more real. The lighting is good, the timing is good, the crop and composition is good. 8 from me! Good luck in the challenge.

Great use of lines. The swan's head and torso seem a bit dark to me, but overall well done.

Stunning work. I like how the light is shining through the feathers on the wings. Black background really makes this pop - good job

Absolutely beautiful composition really using the pose so effectively. Like the pattern of light through the wing feathers. Would prefer more light and therefore more detail on the face and eyes. Lovely clean background too. 8

Beautiful image, love the composition of the wings spread and the contrast against the black background, border works well here as well.
