really good with lots of detail showing and nice reflection too.

A nice capture, you have done well with the whites. With the reflection you could almost view it upside down. Well done

Beautiful shot - I'm jealous. Another case of right place, right time.
 
I just love this shot well done Andrew, did you do any photshop.
 
A very good capture Andrew, I like that one a lot.
 
Lovely image and tack sharp, even the swans undercarriage in the reflection is so clear
 
Superb shot... great reflection but certainly does not take from the main focus.

Yes, slightly.

This is a "right time, right place" shot. Mrs Gaffer was taking pictures of this bird 20 yards downstream. I was paying attention to someone rugby tacking the Easter bunny:

When I heard the sound of the flapping and swung round to capture the swan.

At 5 fps, I only had time for two frames before the bird was past me, here is the other one:

And photoshop? Yes, a little. The lower edge of the reflection was right at the edge of the frame, so I extended the image down a little and filled it with water. Also, the usual adjustment of levels and sharpening.

Very well done! The sun angle really adds to the overall quality, too
