Hello Graham,
The reflection of the beak is very eye catching here!
I like the way you frame the bird, and the small ripples add to the beauty of the scenery...
Very good textures in the feather coat, great clarity in colours and fine details!
Regards,
Pablo -

A warm welcome to TN, Graham.
Lovely composition. I like the pose of the black swan with his neck stretched out and looking at his own reflection.
Good details and beautiful colors.
TFS. : )

Welcome to TN..Thesre black beauty always tough to get perfect exposure :)..You captured it well,nice composition.POV very nice.

I reckon the exposure is pretty much spot on, though I also reckon that toning down the highlights and midtones on the swans shoulders and neck using "curves" would improve this image.

Great first post here Graham. I really like the red reflection of the beak in the water and the colours are so vibrant.
