Comment from Anita B
Lovely swan...Peaceful but a little melancholy too. The shadows are perfect. The water contrast with ripples of light are well focused. Great technique!

Beautiful portrait of the
swan. Excellent detail in the highlights and the shadows are just in the right places. I like the subtle feel of the water too and the way the light reflects off of it. the framing is lovely catching the swan with just the right bend in it's neck.

Just a wonderful shot...and such a sad story. They are so beautiful and graceful...and they do mate for life don't they? Not sure. Excellent color and clarity...love the lighting. thanks so much for sharing. Have a great day.

Nice framing and very good composition. I like the lighting here. Think the back of the swan maybe be a little blown. Lost a little detail. but over all I think its great.
