Thanks for all the great comments...by the way, the shoes were a wreck just didnt come out that way with the contrast.

I like the composition, but I'm not seeing enough detail in the feathers for this to work for me... I really like the persepctive though - the framing is so creative.

Comment by Gatorguy:
Great idea. I think it would have benefited from a little more DOF so the bill was in focus.

I like this photo. The contrast of the black and white gives me a feeling of the opposites in nature i.e. the good within the evil, the sadness within the joy, the ugly within the beautiful etc... I guess the amazing balance in nature that acts as a foil to enhance its opposite.
This comes to mind perhaps because you chose a swan as your subject. The title of your photo doesn't indicate that, but that is how this image struck me. Nice job!

Beautiful colours, both the trees and the sky. Plus a reflection as well. Only one thing and that is that its very lefty, I mean the eye is lead out to the right by the lake and the reeds and then...there's nothing out there to look at. Perhaps a different viewpoint further along to the right may have been better? (If possible?) Well done anyway and a six from me.
