The edge of the pond and pathway/wall in the background detract from the image, in my opinion.

Nice use of saturation. Unfortunatley the white backs look overblown. A good overall effort though.

The water adds a great effect to the picture, and the swans are in perfect position. The focus even narrows down to the littlest twig on the ground. Nice job.

The colors in this picture are very sharp, which help the swans stand out against the background.

Very nice. Great fit for the challenge, and well composed. Wish there was just a tiny bit more highlight detail in the white feathers, but that's hard to do. You did get nice detail on the white part of the necks.

I never knew there were swans like that before.
ah, it's from South America, Cygnus melancoryphus ... black necked swan. Good ol' wikipedia

The poses are nicely similar and the frames provided by the pond edge and wall add to the composition. Like the colors. A genuine evenly-matched pair.

They stand out nicely but the only problem with photos of birds and animals in captivity you have to try extra hard to get a background that isnt dirty and screams captivity.6

the picture appears to be very flat and overexposed in the whites.
