your welcome

its so real never seen a pic of an injured swan or bird

Comment from jimchaney
Excellent composition and initial impact. The color saturation levels go very well with the fog. Just enough color to be there without taking away from the mood. Focus and DOF are very good. Lighting is excellent. Great story telling ability.

Comment from Linda Bickston
This is so very, very lovely. I am hushed with amazement at this sight. The swans, so beautiful, and fairy-tale like, with the misty background. Just stirs up that feeling of awwww, in me.

A beautiful photo Fred, love the foginess, such a sad story of the swan and it's broken wing. Great composition, sharp focus, dof and exposure:)

Very soft and sad image of a beautiful swan with a broken wing. I love the softness and fog as well as the depth of field. Nicely done.

Comment from Alveria
How sad his wing was broken, but he is still so beautiful. This is a wonderful capture of him from behind with wings spread. The fog gives it a surreal feel. Excellent exposure and great visual impact. Very well done. ~Alveria

Comment from skyborne
Great detail in the foreground and atmospheric effect in the background. The amount of fog reveals just enough, making for a fair amount of nice detail even toward the background

Comment from Mollie213
I love this scene but am so sorry for the swan that cannot fly. May she find contentment in her little cove.
I tried cropping out all the bottom swans, leaving only one at the far shore, and it too made a beautiful scene.
You actually have two photos
in one.
Love the B & W.
Just really excellent work with good framing and clarity for a foggy day.
Thanks for sharing
