There is something so elegant about a swan , this is a lovely profile shot with nice placement of the swan within the frame,
Well focused, this image is clear, exposure is a bit off there are spots of over exposure on top of head and in front of neck.
When photographing living things always put your focal point on the eye .
I like the way the swan is standing out from the pretty green water.
Nice composition .
Best wishes to you in this contest'

A slight bit of white-out but other wise great detail! Love the close-up of the swan's neck and head. I think it's a wonderful entry for the "S" contest! I enjoyed! Good Luck in the contest! :o) Helvi

Such a beautiful head shot of a white mute swan pondering his next move. This close up shows all the features clearly. The best of luck in the contest. Ray

Thank you. I wonder why the 1/2 star is missing whenassociated with a good review.

I am so sorry , My mistake. Thats what happens when a hunt and pecker, like me, goes too fast. It has been corrected. Ray

A very sweet visual presented here on this beautiful swan. Your composition colours tones and presentation is extremely well. Done good luck in the contest. This is a winner for me.

What a beautiful capture of the profile of the white swan! The way you framed it feels intentional and balanced, and the combination of light, shadows, and colours adds an almost painterly quality to the composition. Good luck!

Comment from MKFlood
the swan says "It's my best side! how many copies can i have?" lolol..the clarity is great. the angle of the shot of the facial of this swan is great. the capture of the light is great. the presentation is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall.

Nice entry for the contest. It is a great portrait of the swan, shot up close and personal to give the viewer lots of detail. Colors are vibrant and rich, exposure is well handled and framing of subject matter is good.
