Great symmetry and detail. I particularly like the action of the beak and water as well as the mirror-like quality of the pond. I would be curious to see this cropped slightly wider, or even as a “head and shoulder” shot, e.g. crop to the height of the curve in its back, which might emphasize the beak and water. Just a thought…

Wow! Gorgeous detail and wonderful pose and reflection! Even the typical dirty head/neck of a swan works to add a nice touch of color and detail to the image. I love the reflections and subdued colors of the water.
