This a strikingly beautiful Photograph. I luv the sharpness in the detail of the eyes and beak and how the rest of the head and neck becomes blurred tso as not to distract. I luv this very much and rate it accordingly. btw I luv the color of the beak, very beautiful. ty for sharing this. :) cRi

I think Swan boy would approve. A good profile and edit for him with an artistic look and feel. It is so good that he has a special friend like you to look after him. Good work.
