Have gotten a tad behind in reviewing this past week but...lol...knew who this was immediately...especially when I read your little note!!

I think it is a beautiful shot....maybe mostly b/c you've shown two of them so well....and a marvelous reflection to boot!

Focus is crisp and sharp....the front Swan especially is so well detailed....and the little tile of the head you've captured...well, it is just priceless. Exposure looks quite good to me. I think the whites are clean, clear and just right.

I like the little square format as well sg (well, almost square) The guy in the back could have used maybe just a touch more room above his head...but it's minor.

Best of luck w/ this in the contest. It's a great shot.

Deborah

Graceful Swans, always a treat for the eyes. The dark background brings into focus all the best of them and shows off the pure white of their perfect feathers and the elegant turn of their necks. Their reflection in the water give this photo a painting feel. Thanks for sharing.

Balance is good. Colors and depth of field are great. But the exposure could have been raised about 1 to 1 1/2 steps. Good job anyhow.

The side by side swans and their reflection give this photo nice depth. The focus of both birds and there reflections is okay but hard to make out their eyes. The orange beaks is nice rich orange both on the bird and in the reflection of it. Thanks for sharing and HAGD.

This is a gorgeous photo of the pair of swans!! They are gorgeous against the dark background of the bushes behind them and the reflection of them in the water is crystal clear except for the tiny ripple in the water which gives it more character. The white of the swans is subdued yet it comes alive on the photo showing how truly white they really are!! Love everything about this one!
Thanks so much for sharing,
Barb Baker

A nicely composed shot with very nice reflections. The colors are excellent and the detail (especially in the front swan) are very good. I am less concerned about a little blow out than most but I must say your white are excellent. Good luck in the contest.
