    I loved the 'killer look' this Mute Swan gave me as he was on his way to attack another swan.

    Thanks for looking.

    Gorgous light and the bow push is killer. A very well done image, Will.

    Will you must be getting to be an expert at bow waves, this is good. Lovely soft muted colours on the Swan, very nice work.

    Hi Will, nailed, nailed and nailed - you gotta love the detail in the whites. Great eye contact, love the crouched pose, together with the bow wave. I do like that you have more space above too.

    One of your better images Will - Congrats.

    The wake and the light on the bird looks terrific, Will.

    Cracking image. I used to get harassed on the Trent river in Nottingham by these when rowing. Beautiful golden light on the whites and the wake makes this image special

    Good eye-contact too

    Will it's a peach the pose is excellent as is the exposure and colours. The swan is obviously very intent on his charge but I see there was a crafty glance at you on his way!
