This shot has tremendous potential, but there's an odd smoothness to the swan that doesn't look right. Still, the graphic quality of the black reflections in the water is quite nice.

Very soft, a bit noisy too.and the exposure is too hot leaving no detail in the whites. the composition is very nice though.

very etheral. I like the colors of black and white with a hint of color on the bill.

Comment by Melethia:
Almost Escher-esque, with the reflections creating a counterbalanced image. I like that it's the reflection that's clear rather than the bird itself.

I like the simplicity here. The softness enhances the subject but it may be too soft as to suggest technical mistake but for me it's fine. I do wish that dark reflection at the top was kept out of the shot either by waiting for the swan to move way from it or by cropping most of it. I think had you been able to do that and have a sharper shot (a prerequisite at DPC) this would have scored very well.

This looked great in the thumbnail, but there's no detail full size. Excellent composition

very nice softness to the swan, maybe if the water was not so sharp behind him it would be better?
