Oh,wow! I think this is my first time to see a swan like this close :) since I only see them in drawings most of the time. This is beautiful or should I say gorgeous. Great focus,and with great clarity and details. Nice angle,the lighting is good,and composition. Overall,so beautifully captured!

Really nice shot. Never having seen a black swan I think he/she is very handsome. Nice that the swan was still for you. I like the reflection in the water, makes it doubly interesting.

Great shot. Color, focus and contrast and good. I like that you captured his reflection in the water and the drip on the tip of his beak. These little details add character to the picture. Well done!

Thanks so much Mary, I appreciate your feedback.

Comment from canon shooter
It also made sure you had great light to bring out the detail in the black. I wish you had left a little more room on the reflection of the swan. You do not see that much detail in things that are black but you did a very good job!.

Very co-operative swan, usually they stick there head in the water and show you the rear view :) Thanks for your comments.

Comment from wendyroby
This is a lovely photo.

It is so clear and sharp. The reflection on the calm water is great and finishes off the photo.

Beautifully centred.

Well done.

Nice big frame filling composition presented here of a very beautiful swan. Your shot is very sharp and very well exposed providing us with lots of great detail and natural looking colours. Needs more than the 5 I can award just now. Very good photo, well done!

What a lovely photo, I like how the light shines over the swan and the right angle, and the reflection in the water. Great job

I like the way the reflection of the swan is captured in the water, and the light going over the swans back ,that brings out the detail in the wings.The swan is placed perfectly in the composition.-Well done .
