Hi Alan
Nice light, detail and BG - may also have worked well showing more of the neck (upright pano) making the bird look even more elegant!

Hello Alan
The colours of the juv swan make this one work for me. Maybe a little more DOF and slightly slower speed?
Best wishes
Phil

I would say more DOF as the beak looks sharp but the eye isnt and more usm,The image doesnt do too much for me and would prefer portrait mode as opossed to a square crop
Agree you could have slowed the shutter here to get a smaller aperture for more DoF, also agree with David in that it would be nice to have more neck for an elegant upright pano...
