I found it interesting that the head of the Trumpeter Swan couple turned to this colour from pure white just a few weeks back.
Full frame plus added some canvas to the top and front.
Thanks for looking.

Hi Karl, I like the overall detail, especially on the bill, and yes, this is sharp. Comp wise, I feel he is sitting a touch low in the frame. I would add some space back below, and take a touch off the top where you have already added.
Good exposure and beautiful details!! I too find it low in the frame...I'm thinking removing the TC to composing looser (or simply taking a few steps back) plus getting a bit lower would have been a good option here (if possible).
