We have the meanest swan around near our house. Anyway, nice shot but a little plain. Maybe if the beak was open..

The water droplets are a nice touch here, as is the catchlight in the eye . .

eye isn't quite in focus which is what i usually look for in close-ups like this. i like the water droplets on the black part of the beak.

love the water drops! The other swan(?) in bg detracts a little though.

Overall it feels a little dull for me. The blues in the background aren't appealing, and the crop on the body of the swan doesnt really lend toward anything. In my opinion, the head of a swan isn't its most beautiful feature, so perhaps look at exploiting other areas of your subject. Good luck!
