Hi Mark,
In this picture the intimidating pose of the swan was again well captured. The exposure is well handled. In my humble opinion the crop of the previous post of this challenger worked better. Thanks for sharing.

Great eye, Mark. I like the subject a lot. It's also generally well composed. But I think there should be a bit more space at the top to show mama and the cygnet (perhaps your previous post?). Hard to think of at the time, but squatting down a bit lower would have reduced the empty space between the three elements and made for a perfect composition.
