Trying to Impress

Thanks for your critiques.

She seems rather bored, actually--analogous perhaps to Jana Vanourkova's "Boring Afternoon."

Well yes, but she did manage to produce six cygnets so there must have been something she liked about him (~;

A very attractive image. I like the transverse stripes on the outstretched wing. Are they shadows?

Roger, I'm scratching my head trying to figure that one out. The only explanation I can think of is that there's a small swimming dock behind the swan which, because it is lit by the sun, is casting a reflection off the swan. Sound plausible or total nonsense?

Nice shot. I would have liked the birds rather in the right part.

Henri, I would also like them to be on the right, but it was not possible because of a post on their left and I would have to jump in the water to move to the other side. I think that it's not so bad as she is pointing into the frame. Thankyou for stopping by. It's always good to hear from you.
