Nice exposure Charles and I like that all 4 heads are sharp.

My favorite part of this image are the 5 or so swans on the right which are asleep and all curled up. Like the fact that your choice of F11 kept everything in focus for the viewer and those yellow beaks really pop against all that white. It's quite an artistic capture.

Hi Chas,
I like your perfect exposure on the whites and the IQ of the image. I am afraid I don't like the cut off birds in front of the erect swans. I do like the lines of the necks of the sleeping swans on the right- very neat,
