Lone Swan

A nice picture of the swan, Kayla.  It looks like you had enough depth of field and a little work with the whites on the back could bring out more detail there.  You don't mention what processing software you're using, but there are lots of ways to basically increase local contrast a bit to bring out more texture.  The angle looking down at the bird is a little steep and it usually works better to be more on a level with the bird (eye level is great, but often not possible).  I realize you were probably on a bank or dock where you didn't have much choice, so that's just for future reference.  Keep the images coming.
