Thanks, Joe. I can't disagree with you, a bit more reflection would have been nice, but that's the bottom edge of the frame, so the error was made "in the camera" and is non-repairable.
Of the dozen or so frames that I took, that was by far the best. As I mentioned earlier in the thread, the swans spent most of the time with their heads under water feeding; I had a few seconds each time they came up for air to hope they'd give me a good pose. That was actually the last or second last photo I took. After that the swans moved into the ever-lengthening shadows and I lost the light. The session was over. So given all that I'm satisfied but there is certainly room for improvement. More reflection would be part of that. Your comment is most appreciated. Thanks.

I would have liked to see the whole reflection in the water..Joe P.S.
