    Photo taken yesterday at Ridgefield Wa. NWR.
    Great weather in the pacific Northwest this winter.
    A fine place for these Swans to spend the winter.

    Hi Dan, good low angle, and I like the shape of the swan's neck.Good to see a clear reflection. Looks like the light from your right shoulder. The whites on the top of his back seem a bit hot, but easily fixed.

    Nice shot Dan. A good combination of cool color and soft warm light. I'd tone down the white spot on the shoulder in the reflection as it seems brighter than on the swan itself (maybe because the BG is cleaner on the bottom of the frame than up top?) I do like the grass the swan is standing in as well as the hint of the shoreline.

    Beautiful composition, Dan, great looking swan, like the reflection and habitat. I'm seeing a slight strip of blue cast on along the top of back? Minor, and overall great work!

    Really nice. I like the inclusion of the environment and the reflection. I would tone down the reflection of the blade of grass in front of swan's face and sharpen the head a titch more. ( I just got up so maybe my eyes are a bit blurry as no one else has mentioned sharpness of head!)
