nice exposure and good details but I wish the head and wing had not interested and the near wing was raised a bit higher. TFS

Great take-off pose and sharpness and exposure are spot on.
Wish the head had cleared the wing. Love the pop of red from the bill.
I see the wake/splash from another swan at the bottom of the frame. For some reason, this always bugs me ( I know, I am strange) I have several tundra swan shots from Alaska that have take-off splashes either in the BG or FG and they have never been processed because of this. If I ever get another chance at those guys , I plan on getting the very first swan that takes off so I don't get those splashes!!
What is the square patch of white on the bill? In a humorous vein, it looks like a price tag!!

Hi Bill, what a great shot , nice and sharp even the droplets near his wing, nice feather detail, the red eye and beak just pops for me, Great job!!
Thank you all. If I could micro-adjust wing positions, I'd prefer the head to be centered in the white part of the wing. But alas. I had the same reaction about the white patch on the bill until I looked at black swan images online. They all have it. The other splashes were from Mute Swans. There was only one black swan so Ikept the shot, but I wish the splash weren't there.
