Not bad. Like the black background. Good focus. decent placement. Kinda like the bright green then shadows of dark. Not a bad composition, just not "jump out at you wow". Still a 7 for the technicals and thought put in. PTL

Nice photo! I just went to view swans along the Mississippi River in Wisconsin, (North-Central USA), and saw 500 swans. I missed the peak count of 5,000 by 2 weeks. I didn't end up with any that were so nice as yours.

Once again, thank you to everyone that took the time to comment. Many people commented on the lighting. I have to admit I was pleasently surprised how this image turned out as there was no lighting to speak of, just the over head light in the room. I was really only setting this up to see what it came out like with a view to tweaking the lighting and playing around with various lamps etc afterwoods. As it turned out it didn't need it. As with 'asleep' which used a torch and 'a new addiction' which used a mini maglite, I guess it shows that fancy lighting isn't always needed. BTW, the image is not B&W it's full colour - that was the colour of the feather, the lighting along the edges is also the colour of the feather and not added by any lighting.
