nice contrast of elements and colors

Before they could run, they had to roll (John Deere wagon, circa 1890s)

Voted earlier coming back to vote now. Gorgeous colors in this composition. Swans always tend to add an elegant or regal touch to picture and this is no exception. Love the backdrop for the wavy shapes, slightly soft focus and red hues of the foliage take on aspects of strokes of a paintbrush. It gives this composition a painterly feel. And the crisp white hues of the swan really pops of the reds and the reflected reds in the rippling water. I have one critique (Oh man, why does she have to be so darn picky right;-) ) I think that the visual impact and appeal would be even stronger had you taken this at a lower angle (if you could) shooting slightly up and waited til it got to those 'trunks' seen just to the right of the beak. The reason is the you would then get a solid uninterrupted wall of just the wavy red foliage to act as a full curtain backdrop for the swan to visually pop off of.
