I like it a lot, Frank. This is one of those compositions that I feel might benefit from being symmetrical. IOW, I'd have to try a left side crop sufficient to take a look at a centered swan. Congratulations on your restraint in rendering the whites.

Doesn't look like it would be very comfortable, but I'm sure some government conservation official thinks tracking it over-rides the swan's convenience. Anyway, this was taken at dusk at high ISO, so there's a bit of noise to be seen around the darker parts of the swan. Still, I rather like it and I hope you do, too.
