Nice to see you posting in avian Dan. And what a lovely shot.
Great low POV, great IQ and love the soft, diffuse light.
The little water droplets are beautiful and the raised fluffy feathers create a nice pose and lines.
No nits from me on the one,

Super nice low angle combined with great BG and FG colours. I love the puffed up wings giving the swan reference of the title.

Beautiful shot Dan, this one has really nice light showing the details off well, and a great pose and low pov sets it all up perfectly

This is super sweet, Dan. I really like the feather detail against the smooth water and background. Agree with above comments as well. Just lovely.

Hi Dan, great low shooting angle here, and just love the soft light. Excellent plumage detail, and the little guy really pops from the water. Well captured.

[Jonathan Ashton]

Lovely shot super details and pose.... what is it.. a grebe?

Great image Dan. Like the name as well it really does look like it is trying to be a swan.
Fantastic IQ. I think there is a tiny cloning artifact bottom left of the bird though.

Cmon, where's the low angle? :) Seriously,...great! low angle image. The grebes pose is wonderful. The image exudes "calm" to me. The composition is very well balanced.
