It may have its wings clipped so it may not technically fly, but...

Beautiful lines in this. You captured it perfectly! Helen

Carmen - you caught an incredibly beautiful moment in the rippled reflection, the drops of water, and that beautiful, powerful neck. And we all know "he's supposed to fly!". Bev

Beautiful shot - I love the wavy reflection and the way he's looking at his reflection!

Carmen, I really like the rippled water reflection that mirrors the graceful form of this beautiful swan...well composed and symmetrically balanced. Nice catch too of the wet feathers & dripping of water just after the raise of that long head and neck. Beautiful color contrast and play of light in the watery background. Well seen and taken. MFC
