Pretty water and good control of the whites. I wish there was some separation of the two, as it is a bit difficult to tell where one begins and the other ends.

I love the way the poses of the swans work together here, Peter.  Did you look at a square crop when you were processing?  It looks as if it might work here.  In the larger image, the swans look just slightly soft-perhaps a bit more sharpening would help.

Nice image.  I like the reflection of the swans in the FG.  I think the positions of the heads balances the image.
