Great title that really adds something to the charm of this image. I really like this photo. I'd like for the focus on the eye and beak to be a little bit sharper, and I wish the crop weren't quite so close at the top of head. Other than that, though, the composition is good, and this shot has some real character!
Wonderfull perspective. You seem to have caught the expression on the swan's face. Some parts of the swan seem overexposed while other parts in the image seem a bit dark. Looks like challenging lighting conditions. 8
Great title - very expressive. Your handling if the DoF very well planned and executed. Catchlight is the nearest swan's eye is a great touch. My only problem is that the close swan is very close to the top edge of the frame and merges with the bluw/yellow color boundary.
A lot of people may have dinged you on the overexposed neck, or underexposed ducks in the background, but to me this shot is more about the relationship between the two types of bird. You have captured a powerful image that proves that exposure isn't always what makes a good shot. -danny
