Swan alone again

Personally, I think the wild life always comes more natural without flash. Flash suppresses colors and adds unnecessary glares. And I believe it was already too dark for the fill-in. The water drops on the swan's neck makes it look more like a lady's evening dress, rather than a wild life. This comes from my personal observation, so do not take it as a criticism. You may have something else on your mind.

NO SUBJECT

You are absolutely right Sergey
I did a little fill-in flash because it was going to be dark in a few minutes , the light however makes the waterdrops look like pearls what I liked in a way too.
I can see what you mean by unnecessary glares now.
I do not take it as a criticism, but as a positive remark.
How can we learn , if we not listen to critics, pos. or neg.
Thanks for the comment and time to view this picture.
