too over exposed, lost all detail in the feathers.

A tad sharper on the beak and this would have been a 10 from me!

I like the way the sun shines through the feathers on this one.

Beautiful shot. I love this. 10

Nice composition. I like the light shining through the wing feathers.

Very good on those tail feathers - perhaps less so on the head of the swan, which is inevitably the main attention grabber here. The focus and detail there seem so much more forced than on that tail, where the gentleness and sheer featheriness have really come through. A touch of halo-ing from too much sharpening around the neck and some of the shadow lines, but pretty good overall.

Superb framing, obviously quite hard to get right. Nice job.

The feathers are washed out

Oh, how did you get those ice shapes to mimic the shape of the swan/duck... It was a tough shot to get and you did quite nicely.

I have held a swan and they are very soft but not as soft as a goose. :) This one is really pretty. Lovely against the blue of the water.

This is simply gorgeous. I love the white against the blue and the texture of the feathers that are shown. Nice work.

Nice composition. But for this challenge, I think would have liked to see more detail in the wings.

I know the texture is there but I don't feel it.

Unfortunately, I don't see a whole lot of texture here. Too much detail is lost in the lighting. It is, however, a cool photo of the swan. The shadow in front and strong light from the right just doesn't bring out the texture much.
