Three Trumpeter Swans on the ice of a northern Wisconsin Lake yesterday. not cropped but I did remove some bg brown on the upper 1/4 or so because it didnt fit in with the white swans very well.... oh.. and added a bluer tint to the water for contrast...

Very nice picture. I might be tempted to try a crop to elimate the right bird, then add back in a bit of canvas to the right to balance the left. Imho that might give the image more impact and dare I say, focus.
Really, really fantastic job with the behavior and EXP. What lovely interaction. I am fine with the 3rd bird as it balances the COMP. I would take just 1/4 to 1/3 off of the bottom. I love this one.
