Swan

This swan just appeared at one of our local parks 2 years ago. The pond never had a swan but it only stayed about 3 weeks as I'm assuming it was searching for a mate and never found one. I may not have been the first to spot the swan but I believe was the first to photography it. Word quickly got out and over the next few weeks there were no shortage of photographers trying to get the best shot.

A striking image of the swan with its accompanying reflective counterpart. The contrast between the white plumage of the swan and the blue water serves to make the swan stand out strongly in the image.

I do find your choice of framing a little overpowering but then that's me.

Lady Swan contemplating her image in the water... :)
So beautiful.
I like the lighting so much.
I also find the frame a bit heavy.

Visit a photo gallery and generally you'll find the frames very simple so as not to take away
from the photograph. Your swan photo is so perfect it doesn't need any distractions.

Love the swan and the water, but not the frame.
