I love this image!! The powerful wings of this swan bathing was such a beautiful site to see. The fact that he opened his beak was a total bonus for me.

Fantastic Capture Noelle...
Straight out of Swan Lake , Noelle !
I love the water drops/spray ,the wing position and the open beak.Very well timed !
Awww I remember how excited you were when you took this image, it really is a fantastic shot SP, love the water pattern and the wing position is perfect! Great shot and I expect to hear about this one for at least another week or so
Great tittle too
Me!
Love the sprat and action.
I would brighten it up just a bit and also give it some CW rotation.
A smidge of a better head turn towards you would have been of benefit but it's fine as is.
Wonderful action captured, Noelle! The fine spray against the luscious green BG is fantastic. Head turn noted, but a terrific image nonetheless.
Noelle,
This is lovely. No nits at all except that I didn't take it!!Just love the water action.

The open bill really makes the shot. Some kind of edge thing going on at the top center edge, and right center edge on my display. Great action with the soft backlighting.

Very nice indeed, good comp and exp and loads of drama TFS
Now that's a wall hanger
Beautiful shot Noelle, only thing that could of made this any better is the slight head turn as Jim has mentioned.

Great action, great detail and splashes as well as open mouth takes this over the top...Just looks to me like the water line is off and to level it it needs about a 2 degree CW rotation but still takes nothing away from the moment captured!
The flying water makes this image, and well timed to get the open beak. I do like the overall exposure, and the swan stands out very well against the darker BG.
Awesome capture, Noelle! This one has great energy to it, very nice composition. You guys are on a roll, look out!
Love the splash and the open beak!
Same critique as for the second one; I wish for a bit more head angle and the whites a bit brighter. But I do love the splashing and the dark green BKGR.
