This is such a great photograph captured of an unusual event. Should be on National Geographic. Its amazing that you have caught this moment on camera. Great stop action and beautiful shot.

Comment from Ray Gordon
Charlotte, very nice action shot. Upon first seeing this, my impression was that, it was an amassing shot of these mute swans kissing and then to hear that they were fighting, it is still an amazing shot. You have that amazing sense to find these wonderful shots. Kudos to you. Ray

Great entry for the contest. Excellent capture of the battle of the swans and thank you for the interesting notes accompanying this. Yes, I can see why the lower swan won. Great camera techniques showing excellent detail. Good luck in the contest. Suzanne

Wow Charlotte this is an incredible capture with the swan on top of the flowing water and you were in the right place at the right time. Focus is great and lighting is wonderful. Great contest entry!

Excellent, that's the summary of my thoughts on this photograph. I wish I could put into eloquent words what I think of this picture. The whole scene you have captured is fantastic.

Yikes play nice! i love the water as it is cascading over the falls and the stop motion of the swans frozen in their fight. but the one on top looks like he might go over the falls!

Thank you very much for your review.
He very nearly did go over on a number of occasions, I was relieved when he finally gave up and swam away!

Excellent entry for the contest.
The stop action of the water is crisp and clear. There s a wonderful sense of motion in the falling water.
The action of the swans is a bonus hat immediately captures the attention of the viewer. Just a great capture and composition.
Best of the best in the contest.

A very good looking, striking image posted here into the competition. Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us a good view of those fighters. Textures, colours and tones are good. Exposure and sharpness are spot on! Great shot and good luck!
