Gorgeous photo of this swan. The colours are almost metallic - stunning! Great reflections on the blue water. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks a lot for being polite. Too dark? Maybe, but it just might be a matter of opinion. Thanks for being kind.

Any time I review, I normally give opinions, but they are mine, not implying that you should change anything you don't feel should be change. Did not mean to offend

Oh gosh no, you did not offend at all! Have a great day!

This is beautiful. I love the vivid color of the water, the white feathers, and the amazing reflection. Great sharpness and excellent framing. Well done.

There is a lot of blue and also pink on the head and neck. Overuse of contrast and color. If there wasn't such a blue tint to the photo, the swan would look beautiful and white on a dark back ground, which would increase the clarity of the subject. The focus point appears spot on, on the beak. A different angle of view would also help, taking the photo side on and focusing on the eyes, would make a tremendous impact to the subject. Keep practicing.

What a beautiful capture you have here. Really pretty peaceful photo. The bold colors are magnificent. I like how there is a slight movement to the water, adding the right amount of depth. The reflection is awesome. Nicely centered. Great job on a beautiful model!

I can almost see myself here. A photo I like that I am trying to spice up and make more interesting from a submission point of view, Unfortunately the toning you applied is (in my opinion) not appropriate here. Somehow the swan is blue with pink tinges. Sorry!

Thanks for your rating and opinion.
Comment from Mrs. Rogers
Great composition and clarity
Exposure is good too
Color is nice and vibrant.
The only thing I may have done different is take some of the pink out of the swan.
Otherwise, excellent capture

Very pretty swan. The blues of the lake only add to his beauty and accentuate his coloring. Focus on your subject is clear. Good job with this photo and good luck in the contest.

She almost appears to be looking at her own reflection in the water. Beautiful color in the water with nice movement in this terrifically lighted photograph.
