Comment from Sange
Elegant! Graceful! Simply SWANDERFUL! I am in awe.. The black and white makes the shot more emotive. I have yet to get one of my swan shots without a touch of blowout.
Lisa..This is truly stunning.
BRAVO....woot woot!******************************

Thank you, Sange!! This is one of my favorites. I must be missing the blowout in your shots. They seem pretty balanced to me. This scene just had a peacefulness and tranquility to it. I'm glad it caught your eye. Kindest Regards. Lisa :)

Comment from Lmgwolf
Beautiful! I love the ripples in the water in front of the swan, and the graceful curve of the swan's neck. Great composition and visual impact. Love it. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Saylea Photography
Nice shot, I like the lack
of color here, good reflections
and ripples, different view
from behind and I like the swan coming out from the side of the frame

Superb composition. Great contrast in color, tone. Ripples on pond are exceptionally attractive and I can't stop looking.

Comment from Homerladybella
Wow what a beautiful work of art this is. It's so quiet, I love the ripples in the water and your composition is beautiful. The swan coming into the photo is really nice. I also like the black and white tone you've used here it almost gives it a painterly quality. Gorgeous image thanks for sharing!!

Beautiful job with the swan. So elegant. Just a very slight tilt of the head to see the eye. Amazing detail on the bill. Gentle soft ripples over the water. A beautiful image. Shapr clarity, good composition and good impact. Thanks for sharing.

A study in dramatic contrasts. The pure white of the swan surrounded by the black of the water and its beak. The curved lines of its neck with the concentric circles of the bird's wake. Nicely done. thanks for sharing

This photograph is beautiful. I love the black and white aspect and how the swirls of water draw your eye into the photo. The lighting on the swan is prefect.
Nice job!
