Mariana,

I think you've got a very nice shot here. The colors, pose and overall setting are very nice. Personally, the only thing I'd do is to keep the orientation horizontal - I think it would look a bit more natural. (I find the rotated frame a bit distracting) Other than that, it looks great.

Best Regards,

Martin

Hallo Marina,

You have made a fine portret of this nice bird showing it in a sharp image with fine colors. You have rendered nicely the whitish color tones of the plumage and there is a fine contrast with the nicely blurred background.

Changing the position of the horizontal creates an unnatural perspective over image. I should avoid this.

A note should have been usefull

Thank you for sharing,
Cristian

Hello Marina !
We see the Mute Swans so often on TN, but this one si special, for its composition (with the swan standing in diagonal) and for the swan's pose, with the wings half open so we can fully admire the beauty od its wings. I also like the autumn colors of the BG, and there are excellent details on the feathers. Very well done !
Valerie.
