Great composition including the body in the background. The nice soft white contrasts nicely with the dark blacks.

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.

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!
