Comment from Peter Farmer
Nice clean sharp natural capture with good light use, sharp focus and good clarity throughout, good detail in feathers and nice eye contact, it is well framed and nicely presented. Peter

They are so beautiful with their black feathers and red bills, and they look very much at home among the reeds Mary! Super focus, dof, exposure and framing my friend;)

Nice ! Details are amazing great framing, lighting is good .wonderful contrast and color. Superb center of intrest , focus is crisp . Those bright red bills really draw you in,ripples in water also add to composition.

Sometimes our best laid plans do not work out, HUH! It was nice of these beautiful swans posed so well for you. They sure look healthy and happy. Good focus and frame to show their unique features.

This is a lovely shot of the beautiful black swans, showing their feather patterns really well. I like the pose you caught here with the reeds in the foreground providing added contrast.

Lighting and focus very good showing excellent clarity. Very nice composition. Suzanne

This is a beautiful shot of the black swans. You have framed it well. The light, colour and the composition have worked well. Good effort!

Comment from Steve Hanulec
The composition is very nice, one is the "lookout" the other eating. Their beaks and plumage are different from what we have in the states. Our Birds do not have the white on their feathers or red beaks. These indeed are quite stunning. Detail is very good. Lighting and color is pleasing...Good job...Steve H.

Beautiful birds. A fine shot with outstanding colors, especially the bills. I like the natural setting and the good pose. Very nice details and fine cropping.
