Close-Up of Parts of Adult Swans (no cygnets)

I like the colours in this image starting from the bottom with the clear water leading up to the rust colours then the blue water matching the colour of the Swans feet.

Well done in getting 3rd place.

It must be feeding time for this Swan?

Getting low down with the Swan has given this shot bags of impact by being eye level with the Swan. The aperture you used has nicely thrown the background and foreground out of focus. The only niggle to me is the out of focus Swan in the background it is a little distracting.

Well done in getting 5th palace.

This is a well timed shot with a Swan and a spiders web, what made it stand out to me was the fact you decided to convert it to black and white with a bit of colour, I think if you had left the whole picture in colour it would not have made the Swan stand out so much I think the background would have been to distracting.

Well done in getting 1st place.
