I love the stark contrast in the image, I also love the texture you got in the feathers. I would say a very successful image!

I like the dark background and nice capture to get the swans black beak with the white wing behind it or it would have gotten lost in the background.

I love the contrast of black and white, Joe. I like the pose of the left swan, but I want to see more of the head of the swan on the right.

A very artistic rendering here. However, the lower swan seems to be in repose at an awkward angle, and the neck of the preening swan is almost lost in the wing.
