Nice symmetry with the reflection however I think some of the highlights are blown (feathers have no detail). There is a slight sense of depth from the lines in the water however to get a stronger 3D effect there needs to be more detail in the background. It might have worked showing the horizon.
Great well saturated colors and a beautiful bird. The lighting is perfect. My only minor point is that the border detracts. I would think a thin black border would work better. Even so - I would place it in the top 10.
A very graceful and majestic image. I love the dark color of the water and how it fades back into black. It looks like you've blown the details in some of your highlights, but that looks more like a contrast issue than exposure. The orange beak adds a nice splash of color. The stillness of the water and the reflection add to the gracefulness of the image. Very nice.
This is an absolutely beautiful photo. The focus seems just a little bit soft and it's a tad overprocessed, but I love the water and the reflection. Really nice job.
IMO I like the cool blue color but I wish I could see more detail of the subject [face]. With that said I think you have a good photograph for this challenge. I hope you do well
Beautiful and sharp. The highlights seem a bit blown out on the swan, but the gorgeous water color makes up for that. This is one of my favorites of the competition so far. :)
