Very nice Phryneas. I love the reflections. Those black streaks on the neck and shoulder ... are those weeds that have wrapped around the Mute Swan's neck?

WOW, on the precise moment. Good Themme Defenition No techicals to critique Well Done.

Phryneas  12/20/04 @706

Yeah Michelle, you are right - the swan was fishing in the wrong water and got caught in some leaves

Madanapale: Well, there are some moments I sleep & eat but as I have most of my sleep at school, I got much time to go after my hobbies

Great timing!! Well done composition. My only thought might be to remove the gray spots in the upper right corner.

Phryneas  12/20/04 @904

argh, and I already thought my composition would be so good that nobody would notice them corrected it

tomkoff  12/20/04 @927

amazing shot, good one

Sven  12/20/04 @957

Neck and the reflection....both are beautiful!

Imagination  12/20/04 @984

Great picture, love the details, compostion and reflections

I love how the reflection is not only a beautiful thing in and of itself, but also adding to the composition. Great photo.

I love the focus on the reflection in the water. And the water out of its bill...brilliant. Mute Swans are great. This is a fantastic capture of a graceful bird.

well done, photo hunter

Phryneas  12/21/04 @575

wow, "photo hunter" - do you have a copyright on this? might want to add that to my signature

emarts  12/21/04 @664

Nice capture. I think though some work around the eye might help bring more life to the photo. I can barely see that there's something there that's hiding in that blackness.

Other than "ohmyGod!". What a fortunate time to have a camera. Envy, envy, envy. A perfect 10 for you tonight.

Really Good ! Could not fault it ! Voted earlier !

juksey  12/23/04 @790

venus-in-tears  12/24/04 @637

I completely adore it

liiga  12/24/04 @955

Nice capture! It almost looks like the swan is talking to its reflection. ^^

windandfire  01/16/05 @222

This is an amazing capture..........+10 The only thing is I might have cropped the bottom, but that's just me. Excellent work!

Morre  02/03/05 @803

Perfect moment! The curve of the neck is wonderful, and the swirl is lovely!
