I was laying on the ice to catch such point of view,later it was very funny how people was watching my wet pants, but shame was forgotten very fast when i saw the results, i hope you will give me more ideas for adjusting the image and make it better.... Best Regards, Boris

Boris, I like the colors and the exposure. You worked hard for this image! Perhaps some lightening around the face of the swan if possible. You can't see its eyes really at all. I might also have a bit more real estate around the left and bottom (but not much) I bet some will find the bg to be distracting. The more I look, I wonder because of the two toned gold lower and brown/white upper.

Great low angle and nice pose on the Swan. Fabulous light! A little tight in the frame on the right side. Agree about lightening the face. The white stripe across the back on an angle makes it feel like the picture needs some CW rotation.

Ditto all of Jody's remarks. I would reverse the amount of space you have left and right.
