These black swans are gorgeous.

Very nice photo. The exposures, colours and composition have worked out nicely. The angle has also given some depth to the photo.

Good job

A good looking nature image posted here! Your fine and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of that waddling swan. Colours, textures and tones are good. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Nicely taken!

This image is so clear, that I can almost count the feathers!
You have done a great job at choosing the balance of exposure in this photograph. The way that the sun shines on the birds feathers is beautiful. Great job!

This is a well framed shot of this Swan.

All camera technical settings for shutter release, f/stop, ISO, and white balance are all well within acceptable standards. The focusing is sharp and brings out the feather detail quite well for black on black. What I mean by that is the two most difficult colors to photograph well in nature are black and white.

In this case black absorbs up to 90% of the light striking the Swans body. So the ten percent that is reflected back gives us feather shape and edge detail, no veins.

You did everything right and this is your reward a fine nature shot ... Bob

It's such a treat for me to see a black swan, we of course do not have them here in Alaska.
This swan is well photographed from the side and allows such a good look at that black plumage. I love also the red bill !
Well focused, this image is clear, exposure is correct, the colors and tones appear natural.
Well composed and presented!
