		| | 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! TC

		| | 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. |
