Fantastic capture, Debby! Amazing clarity--I love the little droplets coming from his beak. The green/yellow tones in the background are a beautiful contrast, too! #753272

I might as well make a real comment. Great use of depth of field. I love how the brightest part of the backround is right behind the swans head. By the way, the judges seem to favor shots that demonstrate good execution of a certain technique, as this shot does. Then again nobody here really understands what motivates the judges. #4893382
