I waited 20 minutes while this swan cleaned itself to be able to get a decent shot. Definitely well worth it!

Well worth the wait! You've mastered the most important skill required in photography: Patience....
Very nice shot...I really like the reflection, and the surreal effect.

Thanks for sharing.

Very, Very nice swan / reflection shot. I always find it difficult shooting swans, but you've got the right idea here with the reflection and the pose... Well worth the wait. TFS

Sometimes the wait is worth the result. This sure was. Very nice capture.
