Super pose and HA Denise. You have nailed the sharpness, showing good detail, and I like the colours in the water.

Perfect head angle and SH and I love the greens. I especially like the blue ellipse around the legs. You should post your best wings raised one at some point :)

Beautiful pose, and killer water patterns, Denise. I wonder if a bit of CW rotation might be in order?

You read my Mute Swan post? Thanks.:) Yes the Aug. 26th post.
Bill, I will never be able to get the rotation right. :)

Wow, I love the water colors. Great light, alert pose, and low angle add to this one as well. The image looks level to me.

Looking forward to more!!

Yes I read your blog post. How did you think that I knew that it was well-researched? :) The bird looks square to the world to me.
