A lovely image! I like the clarity of the swan against the hazy blue background. Beautiful! Lorinda in Australia (where the swans I photograph are black!)
I love the bluish colours and the dark background. The white swan immediately draws your attention. Very good work... It all gives a wonderful, fairy-like image. Beautiful. Regards, Kees
This is a really nice scene... the light is working well to create a moody, dark background so that the whiteness of the swan can glow. The only thing I would suggest is a little bit of cropping at the top of the image to get rid of the whiteness in the sky... since the swan is white it pulls my eye up there. The wake of waves behind the swan add some nice detail in the water and the DOF you chose helps to isolate the subject. Seems perhaps a little soft on the swan, but still, as a whole, this scene is wonderful.
