    About 15 pairs of black swans nested on flooded pastureland near my home town following 5 years of drought.

    Lovely bird, lovely colors, sharp, almost perfect reflection. Needs a bunch of CW rotation. The only BE (bothersome element--I hate the word "nit") is the single blade of grass in the center of the swan's body. Overall well done.

    Ditto the above. CW is seriously needed. We all have done it. Easy fix.

    I like the setting, mood and pose. I agree with Artie's suggestions. If you clone out the blade of grass you might also clone out the reflection of it.

    Hi, John. This is really nice. Excellent suggestions by Artie. I really like the look of the grass in the top half of the frame, it's most dense in the top third, creating a nice color gradient.
