 I was out with my Brother In Law ( Morty ) and this Swan kept looking at me for some Bread.
I had the other Challenge 12 Days of Christmas in mind, But I thought this Swan could help me out a Little !

I wasnt too sure about Centred 1, But its another Challenge entry that got me out of my seat.

Cheers.
Joe

I think using a flash would have brought little light to the eye and may have helped, I like the crop.

Eye is underexposed, slightly use dodge on the eye to highlight it.

6 It could have been wonderful, but the centered composition hurts this photo.

Difficult subject due to the white feathers, you managed to keep a lot of deatail (except for the top part, which is blown). I am not sure that I would call this a centered composition though (7, deserving a 9 in a nature challenge)

The shot is excellent, but the grass on the beak (though funny) is a bit distracting.
