Swans
I don't often edit here, but I saw this image in the Swans article and I thought it was a shame it hadn't been featured. The image was created by Bowenpan and appears in the Swan and Mute Swan articles. The colors are bright and clear, and I thought the lighting was exemplary. --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 04:44, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Almost perfect, but not quite - thus a very, very weak oppose because of the slight overexposure (half a stop darker would have been right) - detail is lost in some of the feathers. Also, the glare in the water is slightly distracting - use a polarizer, next time? --Janke | Talk 16:55, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Undecided It's almost too artsy, almost like a greeting card, I'm not really sure what to make of it, I'll ruminate on it for a while -- O bli (Talk) ? 16:58, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Too "bright" and I find the water ugly. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 21:18, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose Agree with Dante Alighieri, the water looks oily. --Lewk_of_Serthic contrib talk 22:28, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose Agree with all the above comments. –Joke 23:54, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Opppose too bright, looks more like a postcard. --Ter e nce Ong 07:33, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Support Very beautiful picture - Adrian Pingstone 15:56, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.png|15px|Oppose]] Oppose The glimmer of the sun is too bright. Burning it might ruin the whole quality of the image. Alvinrune TALK 22:36, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose I feel terrible opposing, as it's a very nice image, but the sun just ruins it. I sat around for 10-15 minutes trying to darken the sun in a workable way, but it just ruins the pic as Alvinrune said. Staxringold 23:18, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

 * - This is way overexposed. Also its a bit spotty, a fairly poor angle.. and low-res, which might've been a mask for lack-of-clarity.   drumguy 8800  - speak? 03:02, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Support. One of the most beautiful pictures I've ever seen, slight overexposure notwithstanding.  I couldn't bear to deny anything so eye-catching featured status on such a quibble. I&#39;m a Lover, Not a Fighter 06:55, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
