Excellent composition Colin. Really like the inclusion of reeds on both sides. One of my fave waterbirds. I adore their trumpeting calls.
Cheers

Nice image, like the habitat. The head is kind of turning away from us but other than that, is a nice pose.

Hi Colin, well exposed on this fellow, and I like your low angle of capture. You have brought out good feather detail, and nice and sharp too. I know those reeds must be pretty tall, but I would like to see a bit more room on top.

Hi Colin. Good sharpness and nice habitat. I'd like a head turn towards us, and I'd consider removing the reeds behind the swan.
