Can't reach that itch!! Ahhhhh! Lol. Cool capture. The angle of the shot of this bird trying to get that scratch done is great. The clarity is great. The capture of the light is great. The presentation is balance and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall.

Nice picture. Good composition, framing, focus and dof. Swans tend to preen a lot. Was she meeting you :)? My only comment is that the picture is a little dark and could have been lightened up a bit. Thanks for sharing. Todah Rabbah. And Chag Tu B'She'vat sa'me'ach

Fred,
A beautiful picture of a Cob/male Mute Swan bust preening the feathers on the under side of his left wing. with a scattering of loose feathers on the grass around his feet. With the dark lake in the background. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan

A good looking nature image posted here! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of that beautiful swan grooming herself. Colours, textures and tones are good. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Nicely taken!

I.m sure she will in for a good time:) Hope this will not be her swan song! This is a fine looking photo of the swan. The light and shadows, colours and, composition have worked out well. Good effort!
