Swans are incredibly beautiful and graceful. There seems to a bit too much light on the back, it gets a little washed out. I wish there weren't a shadow across her face. Nicely composed.

Would have liked to have seen the birds head more in focus. Some of the feathers look too blown out or hot. But I like the composition and the subject, however.

Very graceful. A more effective composition would have more space in front of the bird than behind it. But that's not always easy when shooting moving animals with a sluggish camera.

Nice crop and composition! Was this taken with a zoom? With shots like this, it is not easy to take full advantage of the light. In this instance the back of the swan is a touch over exposed but the face and front are in shadow making the focal point of the shot hard to determine. A little patience and luck and you might have a perfect shot!

image could use better sharpness. seems very dull, not enough contrast or crispness.

Can try to be more imaginative. Swan = grace, its a known fact.

Shooting a swan does not make a picture special, try another fram, another light ...

I think better lighting would have improved this a great deal, especially to the swan's head.

The swan looking off the short side of the photo makes it less appealing and a bit overexposed on the back.
