Awesome! My two favorite shots for this challenge are vegetable shots in black and white. As I said in the other one, I find the choice of b+w to be very bold and successful as well. Reminds me of a brain (I'm in a lot of anatomy classes in school this semester). The brain is a terrible thing to eat. 10

Swans are usually so graceful. Catching one in a clumsy position is unusual and in this case, well done.

And a beautifully photographed one at that. Great sense of texture - I almost took the same shot myself. Great light, perfect exposure, functions well in black and white, though might still function well in colour I would think - has the look of being that very dark green that is so appealing. I do feel you might have allowed a touch more room between it and your frame, it feels just a bit cramped to me. Top work
