This one was making a honking sound which was so loud that I actually thought there was some small ship/steamer boat was approaching...!!!
The swan bends down, stretching/straightening its neck to make that kind of a sound.
Wonderful pose and water drops. Great job of capturing the peak of the action. Looks a tad dark from here. Overall well done.
later and love, artie

Very pleasant image, a happy feeling from it.
It could go a little brgihter as Maestro mentions and I love the upward going splash, that, for me, makes the image :) Congratulations!
I like the pose and composition, Kaushik. Action with water drops is great. These can make quite a noise! Agree that it looks a bit dark - they are difficult with the black and white feathers. Interestingly the natives in Australia and NZ have a white bar near the tip of the beak which this one doesn't seem to have.
