I like the edge highlighting that you have on this swan, but I think that the adjustments in levels and curves have been pushed a little too far in this image. It's always the problems with subjects that are white. I find that underexposing in the camera adjustments by -1 normally helps this and when processing the image the result is good. Nice framing of the swan and I like that the image is sharp, with good Bokeh in the BG. Well done :-)

A very beautiful portrait of the White Swan as it poses for you - the composition is good with blurred background. Nicely focused and good color.

Beautiful portrait of the swan Nikman.
The detail in the feathers lovely. A nice little section of catchlight in the eye is nice, a little brighter would really bring it to life!
Nice composition off centre, utilising the left two thirds of the shot, is great! And a fan of the soft focus, bokeh like background :)
Definitely does look shy!

Keep creating,
Ann, OpenroadFootprint

Nik,
A beautiful & elegant profile Portrait of this Mute Swan the sun shining on it's orange beak & highlighting it's white plumage & black knob above it's beak & around it's eye. Standing out from the blurred green green background. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan
