Michael, excellent angle, and love the curves formed by the pose. Great light quality, and so well exposed too. This is sharp, and just love the overall colours in this. Congrats on a fine image.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Nice vibrant colours! I love the curve of the neck, and the one feather sticking out at back. I'd be tempted to crop a small amount above.

[Brian Barcelos]

Good job exposing this guy. Love the BG and the calm stillness of the water. I think I'd prefer this one as a horizontal. Just my preference though. Congrats

Perfect Michael. There is nothing not to like here. beautiful low angle. Exposure seems spot-on.

I love this image. I have several trumpeter swan shots that I wished had come out like this.

[Danny Laredo]

Michael, this is just wonderful. Light,detail, exposure and compo all spot on.
Love the pose and BG colors.

this is a fantastic cover shot of any magazine of good book. even i wouldn't mind hanging to my living room 20"x30". everything is just perfect for me.

Michael, Beautiful water reflection and colors. Very nice details and sharpness. I like the crop as is. Very well done.

I think the neck curve is less graceful than it could be but it is still a very appealing image, nicely exposed and nice colours and yes would make a nice cover or picture for the wall.
