A real winner! The combination of flash and sun really put the light on this bird. Like the drops of water on the feathers. Glad you said it was real. At first I was suspicious that it was produced in the 'shop'.

Andreas,
As an occasional judge of competitions let me say I wish I had been priveledged to judge this image. It is hard to say if there would be any fault at all. As a judge I don't use the usefilm rating method but here is my score and why.
Lighting - An excellent tonal range, no extensive shadow or highlight, with the key subject having excellent detail. Use of low power fill flash.
Composition. Rule of 1/3rd is satisfied for both horizon and subject (Swan).
Originality - A most unusual perspective, mix of landscape and nature (wildlife). Low angle shot and combination of lighting, angle, partial reflection and subject to give something "different"
Technical - Excellent use of DOF, Image is sharp and correctly exposed. Good use of WA lens contributing to good composition, Use of Fill Flash. Well presented no dust or scratches.
Appeal and Impact - A pleasant Picture with excellent subject that stands out from the crowd, using an "ordinary sunset" enhanced by an interesting subject . Drop of water dripping from the beak and the position of the head suggests "indifference" from the swan.
Overall - a stunning beautifully crafted image. 10/10
Finally - Sorry for the long story but I just felt this image was worth the effort to comment in detail - Thank you.

Beautiful detail and color. Amazingly close. The shallow dof around the head helps draw your attention to it.

Great sunset shot. The circle ripples give it a nice finishing touch making it a little unique from other sunset photos. Great idea for this shot.

@Boris
yes - that is one point I don't like in this photo - the difference between swan and sun is a little too big. It would be better when I changed my position to the right, but I laid on the wet sand in my motorbike clothes and that wasn't easy for this short moment.
I'm still working with this swan, because I've an image in mind, which needs to be shot...don't know when this will happen ;-)

The Swan is too heavy. The water and the sunlight reflection are superb!
I tried to crop the left side all the way up to half sun, it looks more balanced (to my taste)
