seeing the title of was thinking of the recent movie with the same title that was a thiller. here it is peaceful capture. the clarity is great. the angle of the shot of the swan in the water is great. the capture of the light is great. the image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall

Comment from Envision
You have filled the frame very nicely with this angle and the details in the swan's feathers and his eye stand out nicely. That beak is a great color and I like how you caught it partially submerged in the water.

thank you, envision for this inspiring review.
Comment from Joek1973
The red beak on the black swan in the murky water makes the whole picture come together. I makes you look at the texture and colors of the swan's back and how dark the feathers are on the neck, and brings you back to the red beak.

A very beautiful swan shot posted here! Your fine composition gives us a grand look at it. Like and love that graceful curving neck! Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done!

Comment from Stringbean
This is very nice work of the black swan. Your photo is nicely framed and well composed. Your focus sharp revealing good light and well defined details. Superb eye clarity just drawing us into your frame. Nice depth of field and I like the movement in the water that is captured. Thanks for sharing!

Comment from El-mundo
A great picture of this majestic (almost intimidating!) bird - the bright red beak captured well dipping into the water in stark contrast to the grey/black down and feathers, of which clarity is excellent. Good framing too, amazing pic!

Comment from avmurray
You have captured this black swan so well, and I especially like the close and personal approach. The bird is also standing out from the background in an excellent way.
Your photo is also nice and sharp and it is indeed clear and well defined details to be seen in the feathers. I also think the exposure is perfect.
The framing works really well and the swan has got a fine placement off to the right. Indeed a lovely and well taken photo, and with a very good DOF.

Comment from Dick Lee Shia
Gorgeous portrait with aesthetic framing.
The bright red beak with just its white tip about to take a dip is visually appealing against its fantabulous black fluffy plumage.
The arching neck is gracefully positioned within the frame.
Overhead illumination casts soft shadows & rippled reflections.
Thanks for sharing...
