The wings are wonderful. I just wish we could see the eye a bit better. To my eye, the focus on the head seems just a tad less sharp than that on the wings.

Very pretty. Really great natural lighting. I'm glad you kept the subject off center - I find images like that more interesting. Good reflection as well. I'm sure this will score well.

Great capture.. would have loved to see more refection. I like how you caught his head at an angle.

Delightful blue in the water, and excellent control of the whites here (not a blown white to be seen). Excellent shot.

Reminiscent of MAK's shot. This is clean and in good focus, but it seems to lack wow. 7

i think i need to watch swans more. i have never seen them do this. imo the neck and head could be a little more detailed.

good composition. the dark blue water pops out the swan very well. Good job in capturing lots of details in the white areas of the feathers.
