Nice reflection - I'd be tempted to crop it in a portrait format and just concentrate on that and the subject.

Cropped to portrait, or even maybe a square print, and you have a lovely photo there. The reflection makes for a lovely shot.
Best wishes, Kris.

Yes you have got the exposure spot on. Not easy with this kind of subject.

A very nice shot, and beautifully composed. As so often the case, I am at odds with other opinion re cropping. I think the movement of water and reflections each side of this picture add further interest, and help counteract the very dark areas. These serve as a natural frame to the main subject, and help the eye wander around the picture.
Kind regards, Adrian.

I think the second one is cropped too close and prefer the original. To me the reflections on the right hand side (of the original image) are a little distracting, but I really like the waves caused by the swan swimming - I think it gives it a nice sense of movement.

Agree with Woodworm. Sometimes cropping not needed.
