Hi John:
I like your Mute Swan, but looking at the image I found the dock rather distracting. I hope you don't mind me messing with your image, but I'd suggest something like this... more minimalist. In addition to the cropping, I also subdued the water's colours.
Feel free to like it, or to hate it, as you see fit!
Mike.
