Nice tight portrait of this swan. Detail look nice. The black and red go great with one another.

Lovely color and detail, spot on for the theme. I do wish he was giving you a bit more of an acknowledging glance, but the view of the red eye in full profile is pretty fantastic!

I do wish for more room for the comp, but I cannot deny the sharp details, good reds, and wonderful eye.

Hi Dan, thank you for viewing and commenting. Normally I would have allowed more room around the bird but in this instance I cropped tight because of the the theme.
