I can see why this was a great contest winner. It's a stunning portrait of The Swan taken in shadow. The way you have framed it is quite dramatic and also very interesting.

Think the black background suits this white swan good,slightly feel the sharpness though is just a tad of in this[not much though] and think also because the eye is not visible just lets it down slightly...Brian

Hi Michele, There is something about swans with a curved neck that I just love! They look so elegant and graceful. You captured a nice curve here. Nice lighting and focus give a very enjoyable look. Congratulations on your win! :o) Nancy

A stunning capture of this white swan. I like your framing and the excellent focus through out but to me what makes this so special is the lighting. The play of light and shadows is striking and brings so much positive emphasis to the swan. Lovely indeed. Congratulations on your first place win!!
